I have the full MSFT Office Suites 2003 and 2007 but for Windows.

I installed Office 2004 for Mac's on this new MacBookPro and I see it 
has Entourage in it.  --My Son had a student version of it we bought 
with 3-license's for it--  So I downloaded the free trial program and 
installed it. I have the license but it is not straight forward on how 
to register it with the license.  Could be I am just stupid.

I wonder how many brain cells I am loosing each day?   Seems like a lot 
since this computer stuff used to be easy for me and now it is 
confusing...

So you too went Apple?  Aren't WE cool, <smile> I feel so young & hip! I 
may try to load Windows on this unit so I have both systems.. I heard 
they could do this??  I wonder if XP runs better on a Mac?


My Son's MacBookPro was bought in June or July when he started college.. 
  He got a remote with his.. ?? Not sure why the new ones don't come 
with them now.  (not sure what they were actually for) Leopard has just 
come out..

These new ones have the new mouse pad..which responds to the 'finger' 
commands.. (dont go there <--smile
