shaun
hey and thanks for the fast response. i am at wits end with this new
mac and it has osx in it but i have not heard of what you are talking
about. i will try what you said and i will most definitely get back
to you on this. so far i am very frustrated with this and all i want
to do is use what i have if i can. it won't take my mp3 player or my
jump drive either. now i will find out if it will take my camera and
printer. if not i don't know i will probably return this and get a
better pc.
well here it goes keep your fingers crossed. i will save this mail
for future reference thanks again for the fast reply.
sincerly
sorry about the errors in spelling but i have not mastered where to
find a spelling check on this mac either. nor how to make the windows
full size to see everything.

all my projects i had saved to disc from old computer to work on
this if not possible then i might as well take this back to store
and buy another pc
It's great to see that you have bought a Mac.
OpenOffice.org on the Mac will open and save most Excel and Word
documents flawlessly. More complex document my have some formatting
problems.
You will need to use your "Install discs" that came with it to do
an "optional install" of "X11".
Please see
<http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/faq/installing/>
for more information on installing OpenOffice.org.
See
<http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/download/x11.html>
for information on downloading OpenOffice.org for the Mac. You will
probably have to choose "Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger)" and then "Intel",
if you have bought the Mac in the past year.
if you can help thanks as mac and apple are another waste of my time
If you have any problems with the above instructions, please come
