Angry Mac User Speaks Out

This post is a forward from several different blogs but will get you to a pretty funny look at Mac problems. As someone who used Wintels for many years then decided to give the Mac a try, I sympathize. I can relate to the disappearing software. With windows, at least you get a error message - blahblahblah.exe cause a fatal exception blahblahblah. On the Mac, the software will sometimes simply disappear. All you can do is say to yourself "OK, I guess we're not doing that anymore"

Click on the word "hillarious" [sic] to go directly to the parody site. Also, feel free to visit the Sexy Magick web log - that's where I found this post. I can't say anything about Adam Curry's web log (also a link - its where sexy magick found the post) I don't know who Adam Curry is - but - a lot of people subscribe to that blog.

OpenOffice for the Mac will have to wait.

This article is from MacCentral. I have downloaded the Open Office and X11 windows interface to see how this works. Will give and update on that at some time in the future.

OpenOffice is a OpenSource project. It is an "Office" suite of software available for free. The idea would seem to me to be a good alternative for those who could not shell out the major bucks for a commercial "office" type suite. It is currently up and running for Wintel machines, Mac users must run it with X11, which is also free.

Mac OS X-native OpenOffice delayed until 2006. If you've been awaiting a Mac OS X-native version of OpenOffice, be patient: the estimated time of arrival has been pushed back to the first quarter of 2006. OpenOffice is an open-source version of what was once StarOffice, Sun's application suite. OpenOffice runs on Mac OS X systems now, but requires an X11 windowing interface to work, like Apple's own X11 for Mac OS X. Some users are waiting for a Mac OS X-native version of the productivity software suite, instead. [MacCentral]
