Office v. X requires Mac OS X.
Office 2001 will work under Mac OS 8.6, and requires 32 MB RAM
(http://www.microsoft.com/mac/howtobuy.aspx?pid=sysreq#2001).
Not sure what you mean by "AppleCore." What dos the machine look like?
Is there a model name printed on its case?

Thanks for such a fast response..
I have not seen the computer myself, but I talked to my brother who is a MAC
user and he said the same thing "What the heck is an apple core" I thought
the name sounded funny myself when I was first told. Looks like I'm going to
make the hour drive to check this thing out and try to have more intelligent
questions and better information if I have to ask any more questions.
Office 2001 ... ok that is what I needed to know, now to find a retailer
with one in stock still
I looked all over Mactopia and didn't even think of using "system
requirements" as my search parameters.<feels stupid>

That shouldn't be too hard; MS usually discontinues earlier versions when a
new one comes out, but since Office X won't run on earlier Macs, they've
wisely left 2001 on the market.
Type "Office 2001" into Google, stand back so you don't get drowned in the
flood.
