Apple iWork 09 9.0.3 (Mac OS X)

Sheesh, shades of Microsoft  

I have tried and tried and tried and I have to say, I write letters with Pages. I do work with Word. I dabble with Numbers and I do work with Excel. For a company that has engineered a number of word editing programs, you'd think they'd get it right. Do you remember Claris and AppleWorks? Pages cannot properly number text in a manual and it can hardly do a Table of Contents properly. I am not a spreadsheet power user, but I must say, I tried to import text data using all the instructions in help and the manual and it never worked, it just beeped. And OS X 10.5 is really miserable. The terrible changes in Mail and iCal are, well, miserable. As I thought about all this the other day, I can comfortably say that there is now no redeeming value of Apple products over that of a simple PC and Windows. They are both the same. A mishmash of broken and removed features and bugs and the only thing neither of them do much any more is crash. Big deal. The next computer will be a PC and Windows 7 will probably be on it. Goodbye Apple, you've alienated your once secure user bas one time too many. [alert admin]
