as a total mac fanboy of 30 years… you're darn tootin' Excel on the mac SUCKS. I live in it every day - I'm glad to be on a mac for everything except excel.
I'm hating on Pages now. Had to uninstall and go back to last year's version. I've started learning to use Word of all things. I used to do professional publishing in Pages, but Apple decided its users don't want to be professionals. They want to make preformatted documents on their iPads to share with their grandmas instead. I miss you, Steve Jobs.
we'll need to chat at some point - I was slow to adopt the new version (I still have the old version on my work laptop, but current version on the home mac). After some initial "hey - where did they put THAT button" I am kinda ok with the new version. What am I missing? Or more to the point - what is the new Pages missing?
oh dude… I played with numbers for exactly 6 minutes when iWork first debuted… and I don't think I've installed it since. It is… an abomination. unless I guess… you want a pretty looking personal budget for a family from the 1950s. And look - excel on a mac is fine… I use it relentlessly every day - but I miss some of the shortcuts and the quick feel of excel on Windows.
