The best rpg I have played this year. It is fantastic! I can't recommend it enough! The demo is huge as well

Crash crash crash crash crash crash crash!

Finder? I don't like seeing this listed in the Apps list. I may be an app, but it just seems out of place alongside VLC, Skype, and others.

I want tabs

Path Finder has tabs. And more.

I disagree with the other guys, the interface is really very good and minimalist. This is a very good game. Took me one hour, with the welcome help of the tutorial to win my first one on one game. Definitely worth the money. Checked it out at ign, it got very good reviews there too. I am fairly sure that anyone who plays risk or iconquer would love this.

Not the prettiest, but good at what it does. I like being able to paste news stories in then type them out.

Now I can type in wildy non-standard dvorak!

There is also an option to change the colour to brushed metal.

This was my security blanket when I bought my mac. I still suck on it from time to time; but knowing what i know now i would rather have spent the extra money on a faster mac!

For anyone whose life doesn't depend on this app, you don't need it. From a word processing side there are so many choices, even some of the small applications are surprisingly useful.

Claimed all of my fonts were corrupted, not worth the hassle. Switched to NeoOffice - faster and suits all of my needs.

I use Word and Excel daily at work. It's a love/hate thing. I love that I can use my Mac at work. I hate that I have to use Microsoft Office but the alternatives (NeoOffice) just didn't cut it for me.

Having used MS Word since word 3 on PC my biggest concern is the "lifespan" of any documents created with word. Every new version comes with a new file format.

I use Word when I have to, although I prefer not to write in it. Sometimes I also use it to comment papers for my son. I use Excel to keep track of grades in my smaller classes. (In big classes I prefer a database like FileMaker.) My wife uses Entourage for email and some memos. Got a big scare with her database last week, but found enough user advice online to bring it back to life. See especially http://www.entourage.mvps.org/.

If you're using your Mac to interface with the business world you can pretty much forget using anything else; Mac Office 2004 isn't a great app but it's necessary. While I'm all for supporting the ongoing developmentg of open source alternatives, until they can handle tracked changes between dozens of different users over hundreds of pages I'll be using Office.

It runs well on both my PowerBook G4 1.5GHz and my iMac Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz via Rosetta. It looks goofy, however - the interface isn't Mac and it isn't Microsoft. It looks like Microsoft attempting to appear Mac (go figure!).

destroy!

guys, guys... that was [sort of] a joke.

:]

boo on office, its too slow

I run 2008 and it still appears under appfresh/iusethis as '2004'. In any case, it's necessary if you work in a windows-based environment. 08 is a much better version than 04, but still leaves a lot to be desired. A necessary evil, so to speak.

why should anybody use a software written in a language non-compatible with Cocoa, bloated with garbage, with 80% unnecessary for Apple OS ???
Why even to bother to have it on a Mac, and contradict to concept of Apple and Macintosh ?
Those who moved to Mac from windowz, why do you still stick with the garbage written for windowz ?
Do you forget that every piece of windowz software is written with one goal in mind - to make your computer run slow, to infest with crap to attract viruses,...?
80% of MS Office is not used by 80% of windowz users.
That's why Pages is designed with usability in mind, it's elegant and light.
The same with KeyNote and Numbers.
Even Bean is more usable than MS Word.
80% of most people need to do, can be done in iWork.

I can't think of anything to say, but feel that I should say something to pay homage...

oh yeah its free!!!

And may it ever remain so!

best program ever! so extremely well thought out and executed that I find it hard to believe that it's free...
