But If they have to maintain other Windows apps, Quicken for example (and Intuit promises to come out with a fully featured version for the Mac later this year), VMWare Fusion runs a great virtual machine environment that lets you switch back and forth between XP and MacOS (and if you default WP documents to a shared folder, clicking on a WP file in MacOS will fire up VMWare, then XP and WordPerfect, and there's your file, ready to go.

NeoOffice requires 10.3 or later, my older iBook still has 10.2.8, and I'm in no hurry to upgrade it. AbiWord opens wordperfect files, and runs on 10.2 and above.
