Hey Patrick, ever use the MS Office Apps? I understand the new Macs will be able to use Apps rather than the traditional programs. The office App is less than $20 and is supposed to do spreadsheets easily. I am thinking about buying an iPad if I can do basic office applications on it.

So far the only downside I have heard is you need a wireless printer to print anything and they have no compatible mouse. I just came across a free Mac app that automatically installs the phases

of the Moon on iCal and Calendar.

Moon Phase Calendar 1.0 http://moon-phase-calendar.en.softonic.com/mac

Installs easily but it does add four "in between" phases in addition to the usual First, Full, Third and New. Happily the extras were easily removed after initial installation (I emailed the author suggesting he include an option in a future release that would allow the user to select which phases are installed).
