It's a pity that randalf's hasn't got through - I managed to write half of it in Japanese. I even signed it in katakana.


And another boring techie moan, sorry. The Panther upgrade won't work and I don't know why. So I'm revising my question - anyone know of a downloadable word processor that'll run on Mac OS X 10.1? Or just (sigh) have Word for Mac that I could borrow? :)

Alas, nothing so far I'm afraid - although I live in hope it might make it in the next few days :) Gambatte!

You name it, I've probably got it. Perhaps it's time for a patchwork meeting in London?

Can get you word for mac (for os x) - will make enquiries.

Will also mail with research update ;)

I'll try to post Word for OSX on Monday. I have 2 versions. Will do you the 2 just in case. It is the least I can do to thank you for 6 Feet Under, which was brilliant!

My letter arrived, thankyou!

Nothing here yet - but letters from the UK tend to take 5-6 days, so there's still hope.

I can probably get you Word for Mac - let me know! Have you looked into Star Office? I have heard good things about it although never tried it.

+1 for Australia!

+2 for Australia

Mine came in yesterday, 25th. No signs of having been opened, the postmark said London South, sent on the 18th.

Send me your address and I'll return the favour.
