Howdy.
MacUpdate often runs promotional offers.
Today only the Cocktail maintenance utility is 50% off.
<https://www.macupdate.com/ >
Click the Promo icon at top.
Cocktail is called a "general purpose utility" that can be used to
clean, repair, and optimize your Mac.
For group members new to Macintosh, MacUpdate is a great web site that
lists a searchable database of thousands of commercial, freeware,
shareware, nagware, postcard ware programs and updates that you can
download.

Because there is an entire wide world of potential iPhone buyers out
there in countries where a minimal $199.00 USD two year contract and
monthly fees is a very expensive thing to commit to.
If you look at China's GDP (Gross Domestic Product) per capita it was
about $8,000 USD in 2011 while the USA GDP per capita the same year was
about $42,500 USD.
There may be a lot of new millionaires in China but there are a billion
people who can't afford an iPhone at current pricing but could at lower
prices.
Since significant levels of profit for smartphones comes from apps and
from ads pushed through the numbers of people using a platform are
significant.
I just read an amazing figure in HuffPost online two days ago that
there are 500,000 people in China today involved in some way in
creating apps for the iPhone. This is a very large number but in
Chinese terms. It could, however, be larger if there were more iPhones
in the hands of Chinese customers.

Michael, Apples does not target the masses, it targets those who want a top quality product, and don't mind paying for it.
Tony, so you want to start up the speed wars or the screen size wars, again? And most people can't see the difference in the pixel count or density. Apple has already shifted their ads to the ecosystem in the US.
What I run into mostly is users that either want OS security, or they want to be able to hack the system and write their own apps.

Apples margin has declined. Actually it hasn't, what has changed is the sales mix of the current iPhone and the old models, 4 and 4S. That's a wakeup call.

The cheaper iPhone concept is one for emerging markets. Outside of
China, Apple's phone hasn't caught on as much and rivals have been doing
better.
That's why it would be tempting for them to launch one.

Howdy.
I just learned something about invisible files and the Get Info dialog
and am sharing it.
A dot or period in the Unix system makes a file or folder invisible.
You can use Terminal to rename an invisible file and make it visible by
removing the initial period or dot.
Here's another way using Finder.
The Find command (command f) brings up a search/find dialog in a Finder
window.
In this dialog the "Kind" popup menu an have items added to it from the
"Other" list shown at bottom of the popup menu.
One of the items is File Visibility. Put a check in the check box to
promote File Visibility to the Kind popup menu for convenience.
Then you can select a folder, do a Command f to Find, and pick the File
Visibility item.
A secondary search parameter for File Visibility also appears and you
can select
Visible Items
Invisible Items
Visible or Invisible
Pick Invisible Items and the invisible icons will appear.
To remove a period or dot from an icon you can then select the
invisible file and do a Get Info command on it. In Get Info dialog use
the Name & Extension item an in the text box rename the file, or,
remove the period/dot.
The file should then become visible.

High end features like smart art, word art and Table of Contents and
Indexes would be nice but not necessary for all my projects.

This comes up all the time.
The OpenOffice-based siblings are closest to Word, especially if you need those advanced features.
I tested them all a few months back, and found that only NeoOffice ($5) is currently stable enough to use reliably:
http://www.neooffic
However, *nothing* for the Macintosh, other than Microsoft Word itself, has all of Word's advanced features.

Neo will probably fit my needs for a few of my core Word documents.
I can use BootCamp for some of my advanced documents and I do most of my
new documents in the cloud with Zoho.com when they don't need extremely
advanced features.

Randy: I put out a Newsletter (eight to 12 pages) monthly for the 300 residents of our retirement community. It has pictures, lots of text, tables, color and, in all modesty, it is a very nice product. We pride ourselves on the quality. Our chief editor is a perfectionist and we go through several stages of review and proofreading every month.
I use Mac "Pages" to do the layout work. I used MS Word, which is no doubt more capable with, as you say, advanced features.
What I don't like about Word is the sometimes those "advanced features" get in the way if you don't need all of them.
I am not prejudiced against MicroSoft. I prefer Excel to Mac's "Numbers.
But "Pages" does everything I ask of it.
Cheers! ...and keep up the good work,
earle

This interests me because I have an old version of Office, 2007, I think. I nearly never use it but occasionally receive a Word doc that I need to open. I can open the .doc ones but not the .docx. My Office is on my old G4 and can't be used on my Mac Mini, so I have to move between the two which is a hassle. I'm trying to get software that can all be used on the Mini. Once in a blue moon I need to use Excel. Can these old Office files be opened with this NeoOffice software?

I spent the $10 for NeoOffice and will share my experience with group.
My experience with Pages and Numbers are decent but they seemed a

Pages is indeed a wonderful program. But the original poster stated that he needed compatibility with some of Word's more advanced features, and with some Word documents with those features. That isn't Page's strong suit.
By way of comparison, I am the head of a Mac user group for attorneys. Over 9,000 of them. Many of these folks would love to be using anything other than Word...but they can't. Only Word, for the Mac, has all of the advanced features that an attorney needs, such as document comparison, tables of authorities, collaboration, etc.

Mac OSX The Missing Manual
and perusing Randy's excellent site and advice.
WHAT FAVORITE BOOKS AND SITES DO PEOPLE RECOMMEND?
I want to become a power user (including scripting) and support my
Mom, Dad, Kids (and eventually grandkids) and nieces/nephews and BFFs
the way I have supported them in Windows so I am trying to survey all
the possibilities like I did in DOS 1-9, Windows 1.x - 7.0. Basically
know every trick in the book.
I will replace my families computers with brand new Macs running OSX
and Parallels/BootCamp over the next few years. They will count on me
to help them backup, choose programs, etc. so I am reading everything
I can to get prepared and using the heck out of mine.
I LOVE TO READ BLOGS, BOOKS AND DOWNLOAD UTILITIES AND EXPLORE! Let me
know what YOUR faves are so I can quench my thirst...

I find the Missing Manual very helpful. On Randy Singer's suggestion, I signed up for tutorials at lynda.com a couple of years ago & have learned a lot there. I just finished a course on Mountain Lion Tips & Tricks that provided some very useful information for me. I've taken courses on various of the Apple supplied applications as well as the Microsoft Office suite, iPad & iPhone. There is a $25 per month subscription fee for the service.
