But at the Market, isn’t it Spelled “McIntosh”?

I now has a Macbook. w3rd!
To anyone who has tried them both:  I ask whether you prefer Word 2008 or iWork’s Pages ‘08?  Same goes, to a lesser extent, for the other Office vs iWorks components.

Leopard rocks, so much so that it is a worthy point of procrastination to mention it at midnight when I still have a paper left to write….

Addendum:

After using Pages (iWork’s wordprocessor) some more, I have to say, it’s nice, but because it uses it’s own format, I find myself still saving in .DOC format a lot in order to port my files between systems, and saving to other formats sucks.

If you save as a Word .DOC…

1. It’s not just another possible format to select in the save dialog… oh no. You’re not saving the file, apparently, you’re exporting it. Different rules apply, and you can’t just hit option-S.
2. I don’t think it does autosaves to DOC format.
3. Even when you haven’t modified the file, it say that the file has changed, and ask you to save it again. Gets very annoying when you just saved it. This is another reason I think it doesn’t autosave.

So basically it treats DOC as an alien format, and different rules apply. Very similar to Photoshop’s “Save a Copy” option.

Would you ever go to one?

Adulterated Cookies

A friend was telling me yesterday that nowadays, in an effort to be more responsible, they’ve gone and bastardized the Sesame Street that we all grew up with. The worst case of this is that now Cookie Monster doesn’t wolf down his favorite snack like he used to. Now he sings “Cookies are a Sometimes Food”

Sometimes is now!
