I migrated, too, to OS X and I found that Classic is not the same as a Mac
running Mac OS 9.x native. There are quite a few programs which just don't
work with Classic -- they crash.

FileMaker Pro e.g. Works sort of -- but you can't print, can't import
pictures or graphics, etc. etc.

I hate to admit, that I now use Entourage of Office 2004 with Mac OS X. I
had to quit [EMAIL PROTECTED] when it stopped working with my DSL line (the 
provider
required some settings neither of Chris's versions of [EMAIL PROTECTED] could 
handle).
So I switched to Outlook Express 5.06 with Mac OS 8.6 which imported my
[EMAIL PROTECTED] database just fine.

Switching from Outlook to Entourage was painlessly done as well. I tried
Apple Mail which imported the Entourage mail DB well, but it was a hassle to
import all the adresses into Address Book and I gave up on that, maybe I'll
try again some time in the future.

When I find an OS X version of FileMaker I will retire Classic for good.

Regards,

Udo Huth
