Is there a free version of open office that works on the Mac?
AFAIK, Open Office isn't compatible with Office 2007.

Neo office - since it claims to be fully compatible with MS Office I presume it can import all word file formats.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Are you running Tiger, Jess? The built-in TextEdit has some ability to read .docx files.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I understand the Asus screen does not suck quite as much as the old one.
Yeah, I was waiting for the new Asus, because of the suckiness of the screen on the original one.
How is the Aspire screen?
The resolution is 1024 x 600. It looks nice. I haven't used it yet for anything graphics-intensive like games, but it plays YouTube videos just fine.
The Aspire One weighs a little over two pounds. The keyboard is 90% the size of a regular one, so I'm getting used to it. The Linux version has an 8GB SSD drive. One thing I like is you can add an additional drive in the form of an SD card, and the OS will treat the built-in drive and the SSD card as one big drive....

When I open it in TextEdit all I see is gibberish.
[eta: And OpenOffice claims to have a version of Aqua that runs on PPC Macs, but the link to download is broken. I'm giving up for today, I think.]

You can still run it, all you need is a new Mac.

I've got an MSI Wind, which has pretty much the same specs as all the other subnotebooks, except that it has a 80GB hard drive instead of an SSD. (It's also a little more expensive).

For $20 more, you can get the Aspire One with XP Home, 1GB RAM and a 120GB conventional HD. This version has a battery that's twice as big (although the HD consumes much more power). I suppose you could buy this version and replace XP with Linpus Linux Lite that the Linux version comes with....
