Or at least.. i havent been browsing here much lately but nowwhere in other site i have seen this thing... and i believe is QUITE important


TEXT EDIT now has an option to save as RTF and DOC file.. i haven t seen this in Jag so i guess it is a new feature of Panther i guess it is a new feature of the TEXT edit V1.3 in panther.. COOL .... OFFICE REPLACEMENT...... on the way...

Wow, that is interesting! As you imply. this is a good indication for Apple's own office software (since they wouldn't go to the trouble of sorting out Word compatibility just for TextEdit).

Also no one posted news on the new ownership and permission...that now states... YOU CAN and then READ /Write ... r only read...blah blah blah..
Finallyy i know what i can do now...lol


EDIT

Also i am amazed no one mentioned the OPTION restore from disk utilitylet you restore from a source to a target..quite nice..

Actually it was mentioned on another thread, but... still worth knowing.

It's been on macnews.net.tc and MacBidouille for a few days now.

It's a nice thing and will extend speculation about Apple/Microsoft, I'm sure...

Well, it seems as if we dont need microsoft making things for mac.

MSN Messenger - we've got iChat with AV support, who needs msn???

MS Entourage - Mail.app is better... it doesnt have a calendar, but that's what iCal is for!

MS Word - TextEdit now can save in .doc format, and can open it too, plus its made by apple, so it must be better. Oh ya, and its FREEE!

Internet Explorer - Safari 1.0 is much faster, and has amazing features like tabs and spellcheck. Also, Safari has NEVER unexpectedly quit, and i ALWAYS have it open.

Microsoft Excel - I heard a rumor that Apple is making iWorks which is the Apple equivalent of Office. It includes something that will knock Excel out of our memories. (meaning it will be better than excel, sorry if i scared u).

Powerpoint - ummm isnt there something that apple made that's better than it..... hmmmmmm........ well to make slideshows, you can use iPhoto. yay.

MSN for mac - hahahahahahaHAHahhHAHhahHHAhAhhaha! this is a joke! WHO WOULD COPY AOL?!
It has Messenger (we have ichat already), a web browser (safari is my most used app), hotmail email (mail.app and .mac slaps hotmail in the face, making its face all red, causing pain to it), and access to parts of the msn website which we can ALREADY GO TO. yay.
Windows Media Player - this is just a bad copy of realplayer. Streaming media can also be done on quicktime, and it must be a million times better anyway.
Do we need MS anymore? maybe for virtual pc, but what do we need virtual pc for really? we can open .doc files in mac. Games suck on it. Its over.

An Apple version of Office would be interesting, and I'm far from any fan of M$, but that said, Office is a good suite and any Apple offering would have to raise the bar.
I'm glad about the text edit, for too long it's still been tied to its MacWrite roots (for those who remember back to those days).
And I agree with the rest of what Androo said, except that Safari crashed on me last night, or to use the term "unexpectedly closed".

Apple's Keynote software competes with PowerPoint. (and wins)
