I own Office for my PC... this Open Source Office will be great for my Mac.
I have also downloaded Gimp, the Open Source Photoshop program, and really like it. Still haven't totally mastered it, but I believe it will come in handy. It can be downloaded for both Mac and PCs at Gimp .

I'll look into OpenOffice once more before purchasing Office. Thank you,
