I Have Officially Thrown The Microsoft Yoke For Good
About 6 months ago I made the move over to an Intel Mac from my PC. I couldn’t be more happy about it. I love my mac and it has preformed for me with no questions asked.
The only Microsuck thing that I still used on a regular basis was Entourage. It’s the mac version of outlook. The funny thing, is that Entourage was the only program on my Mac that had performance issues. It would cause the computer to freeze up on occasion as well as not allow it to shut down because of a 5 minute long spam deletion process.
Well, I am finally rid of that final vestige of Microsoft oppression.
How did I do it you might be wondering.
I switched over to Gmail and Google Calendar. I was already using Google docs for my word processing.
In the immortal words of Darth Vader, “Soon the transformation will be complete.”
Now the only product I still use is excel. Sometime next week I am going to dig into open office and rid myself of that vex as well.
I wonder how long it will take for Google to loose it’s appeal and become the next dark lord or computing environments?

Dig in NeoOffice. A Mac version of OpenOffice that runsx without X11. You will never want another Office program. All the advantages of OO with a great Mac look.
I love it. wwwNeoOffice.org.
Enjoy it.

Thanks for the tip. I will check it out if Gdocs doesn’t work out for me.
