There is absolutely nothing wrong with iWork as an alternative to Office for Mac. Pages is pretty decent, Numbers has pretty phenomenal design improvements over Excel and I don’t know how anyone can use PowerPoint after trying Keynote. All three apps have an intuitive, free feeling to them.

That said, I am downloading OpenOffice out of curiousity to see how it goes. Thanks for the reminder.

Ben,

Good luck with your new career, but please, don’t leave ZATS? I hope that the offer they made you includes you having to leave work early on a Friday afternoon so that you can record ZATS.

Good luck!

Love the show, listen to it every week.
Definitely some sound issues with people sitting too far away from the microphone? I couldn’t hear some of the speakers at times.

Hi guys,
I normally commend you super great shows but this week the sound wasn’t great. I could hear Simon perfectly but couldn’t hear Duncan that well.

Still, great, quality show. There must be some podcast awards we can nominate you for.

Oh, and on Enterprise collaboration I think MS does stand up to IBM. SharePoint has literally commoditised ECM products and has alsmot become like an infrastructure type deployment within organisations around the world.

Granted, it doesnt do a great job with records management, but with IBM you need a separate product for search, collaboration, document management portal and web content management.

With MS its just SharePoint – it does it all. And its alot more affordable than its competitors.

Hi Mitch

We made some changes to the theme for the site and there are some hiccups that we are working on. Thanks for pointing out that links to older episodes are missing. We will sort this out ASAP.
