Re: Anyone have MS Office 2004 for Mac ?
Hi Stephen, What version of OpenOffice have you got installed? I'm assuming version 3 but I found 1 and 2 quite slow whereas version 3 seemed to sort this out. If you're after a cheap webcam, www.zazz.com.au has a cheap one today that apparently works with a Mac, mind this was tested on a 10.5 Intel Machine so YMMV.
