    The solution is: your family has one wife already – don’t add a second. MAC evangilists are akin to Mormans. FYI, they sell quiet fans for PCs, but you have to go buy it and also need to know how to use a screwdriver :(




    Oh well, thankfully ALL programs are developed and work equally on MAC and PC, right? ;)

    Well, I really don’t plan on drinking the Apple Kool-Aid and diving into Mac zealotry, but I will say that so far my experience has been pretty impressive… especially on that first day at work when upgrading my old PC to Adobe CS2 for its new owner necessitated a full day for troubleshooting and eventually a hard drive format to get the upgrade to actually happen. :)

    Neooffice/J (the open office.org port to Mac OSX) opens word perfect files http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/en/index.php. The UI is a bit sketcy for OSX but it does work.

    Welcome to the bright side of life.




    I think I would also try the NeoOffice/J, and you might find some more info on wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordPerfect

    Thanks guys! I’ll give it a shot. Of course, there’s always the Virtual PC route on this one if all else fails.
