MS office v.X was not playing nice with some of the documents and the mail server from work. Then I found out that we have a site license for MS office 2004 for Mac. So I upgraded office and all of my document problems are resolved.

Apple released the new 1.5 version of Aperture couple of days ago. I upgraded Aperture and the biggest feature I noticed is a much better caching of thumbnails. Now even when I am working in a library folder with 8000 photos the scroll through the thumbnails is quick and clean. It did take about 8 hours for the new version to update all the photo libraries and sync to my backup vault.
