I don't know where we are with the Nikon software which is what we *should* be using. last I heard it was slow and worse on a Mac. Ed - Except for Snapseed, NIK really isn't a standalone, but it is one of the great plugin packages and now is very reasonably priced by Google.

Contrary to my expectations the iCloud has been a dream come true. I still feel too much stuff is being 'dumbed down' but I am getting used to that I suppose At that time the only software which Lion really killed for me was MS Office 2003. I have spreadsheets which I rely on and many Word documents which I need to be able to access. I have found with some limitations that Apples iWork can replace the functionality of Office. But I was fortunate to be using Adobe CS5 which is still supported. My concerns are of a general nature. I accept that we don't want a soup which becomes a mishmash but the way the developers actively block any legitimate attempts to prolong legacy software's life seems without justification.

Try LibreOffice then Robert. It is free and does Microsoft Office 2011 documents.

Thanks Jk, will take a look I tried Open Office but the experience wasn't great. Kind of matched the price.

Rant/ I agree that that can be frustrating, Robert but that is one of the characteristics of apple that I actually like. You can only support legacy apps for a certain amount of time without compromising the current OS...that's the Windows conundrum - support EVERYTHING and you have a real pot lucky soup on your hands. If you don't need updated software that's OS dependant....why update OS in first place? Does it really give THAT amount of benefit? The OS is generally something I want - extra features and security and from apple it's free or $25 so no one is sticking a gun to my head. Plus, mainly, I like more speed - no matter how fast I am already - and usually, you can't get the speed without upgrading everything. Right now I have a fairly new macbook pro (18 months old) and a 5 year old Macbook and iMac...the last two drive me crazy sometimes opening D800 files and the newish MBP is snappy fast. I've been trying to wait for the wifi and thunderbolt upgrades to come to imacs and will buy a new one then and it will seem silly fast (drool, drool, excitement). The body may be getting old but the tech center of the doddering brain is still intact and firing

LibreOffice is very good. The spreadsheet macros are nearly identical. If you want something better for great page layout then you need a desktop publishing tool. QuarkExpress or iBooks or InDesign are the tools.
