I’m thinking about switching to a Mac but I’m worried that it won’t be practical for when I have to do work at school on a PC and continue working at home on a Mac.
Question #1:
If I get “Office 2004 for Mac” does that mean that I can create a document on the Mac, save it in a flash drive/CD, and then open the document on a school PC to work without any problems? (and vice versa?)
Question #2:
Assuming that I will not be able to work on an “iWork ‘08″ document that on a PC in a situation like above (correct me if I’m wrong), will I be at least be able to present a “Keynote” document (the Mac version of Power Points in a way) in school on a PC after I have saved it using a flash drive/CD?

Macs are good for you in your case because macs are pretty much meant for the regular college student, PCs arent really that well suited for such things they are more for gaming than anything scott y

get iWork ‘08. skip office 2004. and download neoOffice (MS Office compatible program for the mac)
iWork ‘08 can read and write word/excel/powerpoint files.
NeoOffice is free, and can do it too!
Office 2004 is ancient, and not compatible with the latest windows releases. Jake Cigar™
