Oh I'm sorry! I completely forgot to mention Textedit, which 
comes with the operating system. Actually that's what I use all 
the time, but I really don't do much word processing and don't 
need any advanced functions.

 Yes mac has a word processor called text edit.  I don't think 
rehab deals with macs…they don't in my state any way.

 Good Luck.

 I'm in the market for a Mac.  I have a question about Macs.  Is 
there a word processor for Mac?  Does it come with a Microsoft 
Word for Mac or something?  I'm wondering because I need a 
computer for college and rehab will probably be buying it when I 
give them my two cents. ...  Anyway, that's all I have to say.

 Good evening everyone,

  If those of us in the market for new computers were gathered at 
the
 national office for a seminar of some kind perhaps Dr. Maurer 
would call us
 "The New Computer Seminar." I have an HP Pavilion rig that has 
served me
 well for 8 years and will probably run for a while longer. But 
when you know
 the clock is ticking and you want an information processing 
powerhouse it's
 time to shop for a new computer.

  Last year we bought one for my wife quite unexpectedly. Now 
it's my
 turn. We've had great success with HP and Dell computers so I'll 
most likely
 purchess one of those brands. Mary's desktop and my laptop (The 
"Brains" of
 my recording operation) is a Dell. Both machines are serving us 
well. My HP
 has given me outstanding service too. If you use Windows as your 
primary
 operating system and you choose either of those brands you can't 
go wrong.

  A Mac machine is further in the  future most likely in the form 
of an
 iPhone, iPad, or a NetBook. Happy computer shopping.
