Having recently invested in a MacBook as a replacement to my curmudgeonly old HP Pavillion laptop, I was experiencing a euphoria over the Mac interface's ease of use. I'm pretty impressed overall with the Mac OS X operating system and with the Safari web browser, as well as many of the keystroke-saving shortcuts that I probably could have figured out on a PC but come especially easily to the Mac.Despite all of these positive things, however, there was one thing I was missing most about the PC universe - Microsoft Office. If there's one computer program I'm used to, it's Microsoft Word, and it's the one program that I thought I would need the most, especially considering my student status and the countless number of essays and homework assignments I churn out on a daily basis during the school year.
Anyway, there is a substitute, and it's called NeoOffice. Available for free download (though a small donation is suggested), it's just as easy to use as office and includes substitutes for all of the familiar applications in Microsoft Office. So, as a heads up, if you're a new Mac user or even if you just want to save on buying Microsoft Office in general, check out this handy dandy program.
