Dude, calm down.

In my case, all I really want is to make the Cube more usable for writing and other text work such as bibliographical searches, email, and so on, in conjunction with light web browsing. This is text work for which I'd ideally like to use XML format (Open Office/ Office 2008), because of the fact that documents are sent to me for reading/ editing in that format. I also require full unicode support. The need for proper unicode means I can't go back to Office 2001 running in OS9; XML means I can't (readily) go back to Office 2004. I am not wanting a gaming machine, but a serviceable text processor able to work with current document standards.

I happen to have a stock G4 Cube that does all of the above, but it struggles somewhat with Office 2008.... -----

I merely suggested software that's free and/or open source that to my knowledge meets his requirements.

On the other subject, I do need Word 2008, for reasons relating to collaboration at work, but thanks for the suggestions for alternative software. Some can and will be followed up.

He did not mentioned this in his previous post, and he was thankful for the suggestions anyway, if he isn't upset about this then why should you? Someone trying to be helpful even if they don't fully understand is nothing to get upset about.
