Re: Appleworks

[Jon Bjorn Jonsson]

I just can't stop using AppleWorks. I can produce work far more more quickly
than with any other applicaton. I'm trying to make more use of Pages but
keep reverting to AppleWorks. Even went so far as to buy a Windows version
from the US so that I could make more use of it at school. I just miss the
search function from the Clippings.
I still have my students using it and many seem to prefer it over MS Office.

 Yes, Appleworks will be sorely missed. We mostly use the spreadsheet
 and drawing and painting functions. I doubt if it came from outside
 Apple; I think it probably arose when someone at Apple realised that
 they could combine the original MacPaint and MacDraw with a word
 processor and the other functions into one program. The problem was
 that even in doing that, they discarded very useful features - for
 example MacDraw had layers, which could be "paint" or "draw" layers
 with a range of options to collapse them to produce the final view -
 a very powerful approach which I have not come across in any current
 software.

 The other interesting thing about ClarisWorks was that they made a PC
 version - I used to use it at work where I did not have access to a
 Mac. I do not think it made a big impression in the PC world,
 however; even if the typical PC user could see its advantages, they
 often had a pathological inhibition about buying anything created by
 Apple.

AppleWorks for Windows

[Jon Bjorn Jonsson]

I've heard a rumor that a Windows version of AppleWorks is available in the
US. Does anyone know if this has become available or is about to become
available in Australia?

Re: Power Mac 6200/75 Case

[Jon Bjorn Jonsson]

being the proud owner of one of those i can tell you how. If you look under
the faceplate at the front of the box, you'll see a couple of lugs. use a
screwdriver or a strong pen to push them up while you pull the plate
forward. It should now come off and reveal the floppy and cd drive and below
the floppy a plate behind which you'll find your hard disk which you can
unhook and slide out.
have fun
