iWork rings my bell
January 11, 2005 by Mike Wendland
I know we need some time to fully digest all the great Apple announcements today. But the new Apple iWork suite has excited me the most. I can tell you right now, I’d stand in line to buy this software. Bring it on, Steve.
Ditto! Looking forward to making my first pages.
iWork looks pretty good as do all the other announcements today.
and…congrats on making the keynote Mike!!!!
yup… count me in on this. i love keynote. an improved keynote and a page layout program created by the designers of keynote… i think that will rock the house.
Little by little I’m able to get all micrsoft products off my mac. This program doesn’t help me though. Without a spreadsheet program, I can’t do without MS Office. What a bummer.
I’d be willing to bet that a spreadsheet is next out for iWork. In the MacWorld keynote, Jobs said something to the effect that iWork will eventually replace AppleWorks leaving the door wide open for a spreadsheet and possibly more in future releases.
Whither Appleworks?
It looks like they are going to let Appleworks die. I regret it. I use the database more than anything else. Since Mac Office X doesn’t include Access, and it’s not even available for Mac, Apple really should have waited to release this until a whole suite is ready. Or at least continue to include Appleworks, but it doesn’t look like it.
Ok, Am I the only ex-NeXT guy wondering of there’s any connection between Pages and the venerable - and conceptually VERY similar - Pages product for NeXTSTEP from Bruce Webster (circa 1994).
