.Mac has a scheduled down time tomorrow up through the Apple event. <br><br>and then there is this speculation that iWork '08 is being announced tomorrow.<br><br><a href="http://www.9to5mac.com/iwork-update-august-7th-spreadsheets-54235423">link to more alleged details</a><br><br>i'd be happy if my $99/year gave me something closer to what i get elsewhere for $99. i guess if i took advantage of backup and/or sync services of .Mac i'd think differently, but i don't. <br><br>a spreadsheet app with iWork. meh. i think Excel is about as good as it gets from Microsoft, but i also realize many folks want to be MS free. <br><br>

I have been wanting an excuse to get iWork. I wonder if they will give another 30 day trial for us to look that the spreadsheets. Also, I wonder if they will keep the same $79 price.<br><br>And is this just going to be another Claris works spread sheet clone.<br><br>dave<br><br><br><br>

Well MrB get the Deluxe Ultimate Super-Dooper Home Version !!<br><br>only $79 !! <br><br><br> Remember Steve poking fun at VISTA pricing !!<br><br>David (OFI)

I agree Excel is a good app - however even on the PC side Excel does have many bugs - like cells that go bad after awhile and you have to go back in and fix cells. Real pain in the arse<br><br>

I've never had a problem with it, Carp, but I believe you.<br><br><br>

Yes you never know in a large corporate setting as to what is the culprit - Still a well written program should survive ? ? IMO<br><br>

I want an iPhone in Canada, today.<br><br>PS: You can always get seven floors high. <br>
