I'm not sure that you can use Office with Ubuntu (maybe with Wine). I used OpenOffice which is a free alternative.

Yeah. But OS X is prettier. :)

I wouldn't mind trying to ditch Windows, but then there's also all these newfangled functional keys on my laptop that I'm not sure will work properly with Ubuntu (of course, I don't really use them).
It doesn't.

Open Office is what you've got to use on Linux unless you use Wine or something (which allows you to run Windows programs).

Thanks for the tips, guys. Open Office isn't going to work for me. I might check out Wine though.

You could probably also set up a virtual machine to run Windows, and therefore Office, through.

Strange...I only clicked once, but the site froze for me and my post was duplicated.

This keeps up and we're going to be demoted/deported from the Mexican League to...something even more minor league.

This has potential. That is, as long as I can be a coach. Better to be a molester than a molestee.
