I don't believe this entirely but I just hate having to use Microsoft word for school (I'm in college) but everyone uses it and it's like ok there's no Corel Wordperfect anymore for macs, no claris works, and yes as you said appleworks is dying slowly. I just feel as an old mac user that the company made one of the best word processors with claris works in the past and they should try to compete with microsoft word when their market share grows. And I didn't mean to suggest these ideas happen in the near future, I'm thinking more long term.

That is true but do you think the "i" branding was just to speak to a younger target audience to sound more 21st century? It was cool for a while and I am glad to see they are moving away from it slowly. I just wonder what they are going to call the iPod later on, maybe the macpod?

• Pages (Apple iWork) • RagTime • Nisus Writer Express • Mariner Write • AbiWord • OpenOffice.org Write / NeoOffice Write What is it about your college that mandates the use of Microsoft Word? Probably nothing. People who keep claiming "we don't have a choice!" are usually just too lazy to learn something different. |

All I'm getting out of you is that you think things should be the way they were before and that you're afraid of change. You seem to think Apple should go backward instead of forward. |

I am talking about the longterm, think about the first macintosh. It was awesome for it's day. Apple moved away from the apple II and other models and the mac was their revolutionary model. I can understand why a lot of people feel comfortable staying with the mac name but I am hoping later on they come out with a new pc that will revolutionize the apple brand like the mac did in the past.

The iMac, the MacBook, MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, Mac Mini...all amazing computers in their own right. And I highly doubt changing their name, dropping the odd 'i' is going to help this 'revolution' of yours. |

Farenheit, it looks like I've given you too much rep lately. Otherwise, I'd give you more. Very nice image
New guy: Bad news. They rarely delete anything. Newbie rape stays up for all the world to see. You posted some really, really strange stuff, and you never really explained yourself. |

Bad news on that front too. Duplicate accounts violate the rules. Just learn from your mistake and don't post anything dumb again. Hell, drewprops posts drunk all the time, and we still like him. (Then again, his drunk posts sometimes make more sense than this thread).
