Interestingly enough....
AppleWorks is officially history
Apple cans AppleWorks
AppleWorks declared 'end of life'
Jonny Evans
AppleWorks' last breath was masked by last week's iMac, iLife and iWork
announcements - Apple has discontinued the product.
Apple told resellers of the demise of AppleWorks last week, announcing
that the software had reached "End of Life" status. It will no longer be
sold. The AppleWorks website now directs users to the iWork section of
Apple's website.
The original AppleWorks was written by Robert Lissner and released in
1984 by Apple for the Apple II family of computers, and at one point was
the biggest-selling software package in the industry.
The modern incarnation of AppleWorks started life as ClarisWorks, written
by Bob Hearn and Scott Holdaway.
At one time, AppleWorks was bundled with all consumer level Macs sold by
Apple. It reached version 6.0, where it languished since the late
nineties.
