got the ibook and imac. Have set up the iBook and things are REALLY easy (except for the dreaded Outlook to Entourage migration -- I'm using a .Mac account to transfer, but we're talking north of 6,000 emails).
A couple questions:
1) I've installed Office (teacher edition) but the iBook will default to iWorks when I click on a *.doc file. How do I get it to use Word? In the "old" days (windows) you'd just associate all *.doc files with Word. Can't figure it out here.
2) How can I set up my Documents folder so that another user on this machine (my wife) can read/write what's in there? I dont' want to make 2 duplicate folders in each of our user homes.
thanks.
PS--since PCs came about, I had always recommended to people in the market that if money wasn't the key criterion but simplicity was, they should buy Apple, otherwise buy a PC. This is my first Apple, and I'm happy I was actually giving good advice all these years.
