Nov 3, 2015 7:13 PM in response to a brodyby Stephan Tobin,This really didn't help me. I'm not that tech savvy to know exactly what you mean. I don't think I have a large enough hard drive on my computer to partition it the way you suggest. A Mac technician considered that, but having access to my computer, realized it isn't large enough.
I like Appleworks, finding it to meet all my needs for a word processor, spreadsheet and data base, and am ****** off at Apple for making it obsolete. Particularly since they don't have anything like it. I know they have Pages, but that's probably a lot more word processor than I need. And EXcel is probably more spreadsheet than I need.
I'm not wedded to Open Office; it was just something the Mac consultant suggested. But I can't seem to download it anyway; my Mac keeps freezing up and I can't even doing a force quit; just have to turn off the computer.
