If you’re having trouble opening .doc and .docx files, get a copy of Microsoft Word for your Mac. It works fine.

Since you are having trouble with you Mac and it is repetitive... perhaps it is not the system?
Perhaps a career change is in order
or something not so technical....
Just a thought

I just brought home my new Asus laptop this afternoon. Hope it’s as good as I’ve read and have heard.

Give it up, Macs are not business friendly unless you do graphics design.
This is one of those things they call memes.

Yup, macs are useless in a business environment where file sharing outside the company is a priority.

I have an iMac at home that I enjoy for personal use. For real work, I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T400s. Windows 7 is the best OS for business productivity, and ThinkPads are the best laptops made.
To: Astronaut
Thinkpads are chinese, so they aren’t something I would choose to use.

This keep this site clean. I don’t want to see anything negative about Apple products. It could affect my stock! :-)

Your post Title and actual posting do not correspond. Your posting is extremely vague and makes little sense. You give us complaints but nothing else. Based on those things alone I am forced to have to say that you are probably near totally computer illiterate on all levels.
......or I'm inclined to think you're making the whole thing up as the only complaint that is missing from your post is that your "MAC" hasn't blown up. In fact, I'm glad you used names like "Safari" and "ICal" because otherwise I'd have no idea what a "MAC" is or what the heck you're talking about.

I’m a Mac user.... I’m typing this on my Mac Mini... and I’ll be the first to tell you that there are simply some things that the Mac doesn’t do very well. There are some things where Windows runs circles around the Mac. You are simply going to have to accept that you’ll have to learn to do things a little differently on a Mac.
So why use one? Because my time is important too, and I got tired of fixing the hole of the week in my Windows box. I got tired of having a full range of security protections... anti virus, firewall, etc... and still getting a trojan just from surfing. You don’t even have to go to naughty places to be infected, you know. There was a stink a couple of weeks back when Google and Yahoo had to admit that there was malware in some of the ads they ran. You didn’t even have to click on some of them. Just loading the search page with and offending ad would get you infected.
So that’s why I put up with the limitations on my Mac.

We do all our file sharing of results from our DNA sequencing from Mac servers to customers all around the world on any type of computer.

Let’s look at your assumption that your “MAC” was “hacked”.
There’s only 3 ways I know that a “MAC” can be “hacked”:
1. In person, at the actual computer in question, with Root Access.
2. Over a totally unsecured network, with Root Access.
3. Giving a malicious installation program Root Access.
All three of those imply that the actual Owner/Operator would have to actually be involved with the hacking of the mac......by giving someone else root access. Therein, it would be by fault of the owner/operator NOT the fault of the mac.
If you have issues with 3rd party applications on the mac I would take up issue with the vendors/programmers of those apps before I take issue with Apple. It’s the 3rd party application programmers job to make the app work on the mac.....not vice versa.

Do you? That’s so nice to hear. I had so many problems with my Compaq that HP just replaced it and I upgraded. I almost got a Toshiba but the guys at Best Buy really recommended Asus.
