    I just reread your post and
        had to chuckle at the comment about Apple's "elitism".....

        
        Open a .doc, MS Word, file with Open Oficce Writer, or a .xls,
        MS Excel, file with Open Office Calc.  When you have the file
        open do what you want with it.  Edit or add to it.  

        
        Now open a .odt. Open Office Text, with MS Word. or a .ods, Open
        Office Spreadsheet, with MS Excel.  Huh?  You can't open the
        files?  Hmmmmm.

      I hear it can be done but I wonder if there are hardware
      problems... I'm so sick of Apple's overcharging and elitism... I
      have to buy a new laptop for my accounting and the software I have
      is for OSX. Really the simplest of modern machines will do
      perfectly so why not buy an ACER for $300.00 instead of a macbook
      for $1100?
