![]() ![]() Last week when I was too lazy (or sore) to head up to my upstairs office to update a page of our garden plan, I simply fired up AppleWorks 6 under Sheepshaver on the MacBook Pro downstairs, entered the necessary information, and saved the file. But I ended up learning to like Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) a little bit, and went with Sheepshaver emulation instead. I'd originally planned to reformat the MacBook Pro's drive and install Snow Leopard with its Rosetta emulator on it that would allow running PowerPC apps like AppleWorks 6. I have tons of files still in ClarisWorks/AppleWorks format that I need to access and occasionally update from the new laptop. But possibly even more important is the ability to run AppleWorks 6 on the new MacBook Pro, which only has Lion installed, and ClarisWorks/AppleWorks 5 on the Mac Mini. Then there are those shareware passwords I forgot to record elsewhere that are still trapped in Claris Emailer. ![]() But every now and then, I need to change something in a legacy column that was written with Claris Home Page that I can't make or don't know how to make Dreamweaver do. I've gradually updated most of my software to Intel compatible versions for OS X. My uses for Classic with Sheepshaver are pretty limited, but important. ![]()
