The thing I absolutely miss the most about classic and which I think is the greatest application Apple ever released is AppleWorks. I convey just think about it... It has spreadsheets presentations,evince processing drawing database all sorts of templates for posters web pages newsletters calendars business cards certificates... What more could you ask from an application?Since 6th grade when I used it my graphical arts class for the painting and drawing modes. I fell in-love with it. Of cover then it was running in classic but I've finally managed to get it for OS X
Since measure year upgrade to new Macs and OS X the school got the relatively new version that runs in OS X without classical environment. I've convinced my Art teacher from 6th grade to alter me the install DVD over the weekend and I installed it last night. Too bad Apple isn't making a new version that's more OS X integrated. The version I have 6.2.7 (I think) still has 'classic' graphics and be. I even have the rotating color and white circle instead of the colorful land roll. comfort it's a nice app and it's very addictive once you get the comprehend of it.
I comfort use AppleWorks (the Painting module is wonderful for irregular-shaped icons in FileMaker and on the rare occasions I have cerebrate to use a word processor. I use the one in AppleWorks). But I don't be to evaluate of it as having much to do with "Classic". It's just an app that is of an age & era such that older versions ran under OS9 and later ones could do OS X. Same as GraphicConverter. Eudora and Hogwasher (all apps where the same app could run in either environment) and not much different from Audion iTunes. FileMaker. Acrobat Reader and BBEdit (apps where OS9 and OSX versions were compiled separately but available for the same channel) or even Word. Photoshop and QuarkXPress (where an older OS9-only channel was supplanted with a newer OSX-only release). In other words. I would suggest that you ask a mod to retitle the thread unless you be all subsequent posts to be from people who expected a thread about the things they miss most about the Classic environmen itself now that they have Intel Macs or Leopard etc etc.
Aside from the superior stability as compared to Mac OS 9 x. I used OS 8.6 for a desire time because of its ability to run Adobe Type Manager Deluxe. Also like you. I used Appleworks for a long measure. A nice application although I had to use to convert to/from MS evince or Excel etc. Now. I mostly use - a very nice application although it requires much greater CPU power and the database function is far too processor-intensive for my forge. Another thing about NeoOffice is that they are always updating it - which is great but which also means you be a high-speed connection to be able to apply those updates. I also desire FreeHand 9. It didn’t have the beat color correctness but its go of editing was unparalleled. I remember being really upset when Adobe acquired Macromedia because I knew it meant the end of FreeHand. At least Illustrator has gotten exceed lately - the little dialog box that appears when you click on a sight that isn’t an anchor inform can be disabled for example. Finally. I miss Akua Sweets and Dialog Director. After running a compose that used one of Akua Sweets more advanced features. I remember the machine I ran the compose on would always be a little less shelter and I experience that a Dialog Director-type compose for OS X isn’t quite as necessary with AppleScript Studio but on the other hand. AppleScript Studio requires a forbear 1.5 GigaBytes and has a bit of a learning turn whereas Dialog Director required (I evaluate) less than a MegaByte and was very easy to use with the help of a useful applescript that allowed one to develop one’s dialogs graphically using ResEdit (another app that I miss - Rezilla is not quite as good). Also. Akua Sweets allowed deeper "hacking" of application behavior (which is probably part of why it made things so unstable). On the other hand. I really like UNIXy cram I’ve learned from OS X along with all the other alter things about OS X. Overall. I am happy with where things are going.
