I-Work 09

[nadinbrzezinski]

downloaded the demo

Works fine, does a couple things much better than Word, or even open office... full screen is SWEEETTTT

The dynamic TOC is more than just acceptable

Still trying to justify the price tag for this.

Perhaps after I play with the outlining tool it MAY be a good thing... after all it would mean no more OMNI OUTLINER to get a descent outline

Still, there are days I wonder why Apple just does not do the upgrade price thing... after all, Open Office does all of what they added as new shiny toys

Ok took the tutorial at the mac site, but the idea of DYNAMIC outlines is a nice one. Definitely that may make this almost worth it. As a writer I tend to use OmniOutliner, quite a bit... But this adds a word processor to it with notes... hmmm

1. You beat me to my iWork 09 post

I am enjoying the trial very much. The only observation is that I don't get the sharing documents online. It is helpful if your friends do not have Pages but then you can just save your documents as Word or PDF so what is the use of this feature?

3. Haven't played with it yet

The Mac is at the store, keyboard issue and the linux box will not do squat with I-Work. When I get it back will have to use numbers though...but what I use it for...does not push it at all

Now to say that I was less than impressed with the genius bar is besides the point...
