The Macs are from 2008 and running I believe 10.6.8. I can double check that when I get to work, but I am right now working on a 2007 Mac running 10.6.8 so the ones at work might be running a slightly newer version, but they are definitely running OS 10 something.
I hope that helps somewhat but I will report back when I get back to work on Monday. I really appreciate everyone's suggestions so far. ____________________________________________ Patricia Sarles, MA (Anthropology), MLS Librarian Jerome Parker Campus Library 100 Essex Drive Staten Island, NY 10314 718-370-6900 x1322 [email protected] http://jeromeparkercampus.libguides.com/home You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.

Hello, It is easier to offer suggestions if you narrow down as best as you can your meaning of "older macs". ;-) Like David Mayo mentioned Text Wrangler (BBEdit?) will work for the PPC Macs. The Sublime Text and Atom.io "expect you to have a new (even I don't have a definition so I feel your pain ;-)) Mac. I'd say start with what version of Macintosh OS are the running.
