Hi Anouk, I, too, am a law student. Good luck with Iwork. It seems to resolve many of my textedit issues. Some documents I have are one thousand pages plus. Aside from initial sluggishness when interacting with the document body in pages, voiceover remains snappy and responsive. BTW, when you scan your documents in, do you use windows? If not, how do you use your mac to accomplish this? If possible I'd really like to use my VMware virtual copy of windows for games only. However I have not found a reasonable way to do massive amounts of OCR with the mac.
Thanks, John P.S. As for apple products, I think you always have to purchase the CD. Every time I have made a purchase, with the exception of quicktime pro, it has always included an installation CD or DVD. Then again, I have always purchased my apple products from a retail store, so I don't know what methods are available if you shop online.
