joanna, As a student, are you eligible for an education discount? At the $5(US) rate you could afford Office for OS9 and OSX. Below is an excerpt from the arrangement that 14 Ohio colleges have with Microsoft. I don't know what's available in other states/provinces. UC and Microsoft Sign a Major Licensing Agreement The Information Technology and Instructional Equipment (ITIE) fees collected from UC students are used to pay for the cost of UC student licenses, thus allowing our students to get Microsoft Software for as little as $5 a product, or just the price of the CD... In September 1999, the University of Cincinnati, together with 14 other Ohio institutions, signed a major licensing agreement with the Microsoft Corporation. The 4-year Enterprise License Agreement (or ELA) permits the University to distribute the following software products to matriculated UC students, UC departments, faculty and staff: Microsoft Windows XP Pro or Windows 2000 Pro (or successor desktop operating system product) Microsoft Office XP Professional for Windows Microsoft Office for the Macintosh including version X Microsoft FrontPage for Windows Microsoft Visual Studio .Net Professional for Windows Microsoft BackOffice Client Access License The Agreement's end date is September 30, 2003. joanna wrote: > > went with office 2001 (office x is x only)...managed to scam it from a > friend until i can get X back on here > > In answer to your question it is an old blueberry 266 iMac.....not enough > ram to stop it from kernel panicing so it stays in 9 for now.... > > > > > geeez, I'm still using my orig 5.1 Word... > > and trying to keep using it in 9xx > > so far.. hmmm ... still working on it > > > > What iMAc do you have?
