Which should have been obvious the first time he ran one of the apps and got the message that Rosetta is required. Also, the fact that Office 2004 preceded Intel Macs by two years might have been a clue. On the other hand, most people who upgrade to Office 2008 on Intel Macs find it runs _slower_ than 2004. -- My latest dance performance <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_9pudbFisE> Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi>

I'll second that, and how. Does anyone know why? -- Tom Stiller PGP fingerprint = 5108 DDB2 9761 EDE5 E7E3 7BDA 71ED 6496 99C0 C7CF

But I said in the very post you responded to (it's right there in the stuff you quoted) that the first time you ran one of the Office 2004 apps you got the message that Rosetta is required. I don't know how you didn't notice that, especially when you then had to download and install it. -- My latest dance performance <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_9pudbFisE> Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi>

No, but, as I said before, most people who upgrade to Office 2008 on Intel Macs find it runs _slower_ than 2004. -- My latest dance performance <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_9pudbFisE> Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi> |
