>and SHAZAM in particular which you say works well with Claris >Emailer. Well, SHAZAM is just an expression from the old Captain Marvel comic books, if I remember correctly. The meaning is the same as the word "whammo." It means that something marvelous has just happened. >It sounds incredible that you can partition your >hardisk to work all of these different versions of the System.

It's a real kick! >You are clearly more expert than I am in your technical knowledge Well, I started with a Mac Plus at the end of 1987, and I have followed along ever since. So I have a couple of decades of stuff invested in the old OS. First and foremost Emailer. Therefore having an OS which will run Classic is just about a "must." It is great that I can also have a partition that will run 10.5.x and probably anything else to come along for a while. I learned that I could partition my HD "on-the-fly" without losing any of the contents from David Pogue's "Missing Manuals" It requires 10.5.x to do that. Check out Pogue's "Missing Manual for OS 10.5" to find out how to do that. And also check out Pogue's "Missing Manual for OS 10.4" to find out all the "tricks of the trade" in using Classic to run Emailer and all the old programs. These are both available from amazon.com. They have used copies at a discount, and since 10.4 is now an "old" system, that book can be had for peanuts.
