Back to 10.4 and Office 2004. Life is Good

[Don C]

I've not found Excel 2008 to be faster on my Intel PB than Excel 2004. In fact copy and paste is much slower in 2008 on both my G4 and the PB, as in tens of minutes for 2008 and a minute or two in 2004. I have come to using 2008 when I need the extra rows but switching to 2004 as soon as possible for file manipulation, calculations, and charting. Both 2004 and 2008 are subject to quitting in the middle of writing a formula and I typically now start all formulas with a double equal sign, taking the extra one out before hitting ENTER.

Entourage 2008 is working fine on the G4 though I don't see any differences one way or another from the 2004 version.
