What programs do you NEED Classic for? Perhaps we can suggest
alternatives.
FirstClass Client: My church uses this as a e-mail bulletin board.
I'm using the last version our server supports because it is the last
FC version that will auto open without having to type user id and
password. Will have to give in and upgrade though because it crashes
regularly in Tiger.
TouchBase Pro: Address book. No real excuse but laziness here. Could,
Can. Should simply export to a FileMaker file. It started acting
funny after I ran Print SetUp Repair. Giving me "not enough memory"
boxes. Odd.
Quicken: Tiger, of course comes with a 2004 or 2005 version. I
almost immediately reverted to my 98 version because they eliminated
the recently opened account bar. Can you believe it? Now you can
select accounts you want in the bar, they don't interact with your
use. I called them. No joy. I use that bar regularly in every
session. Alternative suggestions appreciated.
Maybe there's a hack.
PhotoShop: I haven't had much time to work in PhotoShop lately,
Newest version is OK but seems excessively top heavy. Then one has
to find out where they put everything. So at times I have reverted.
InControl: Calendar and To Do List. Now this one goes way back to
7.x. Still works though. Haven't found anything close in terms of
features. Outline. Drag and drop items to Calendar. Easy reminders.
Never liked the daily ToDo list though and would like better sort
options. They folded a long time ago. Alternative suggestions
appreciated.
Quark 4: I could never afford an upgrade and I went to a lot of
trouble creating some templates. Must be something simpler though
available by now. I saw something called "PageUp" on a friends Mac.
Maybe?
MacDraw: Not really on this list, as it doesn't work at all in
Classic, but I missed it terribly. Found JfDraw.jar though which
looks promising and has even more features and it's free. Others
might want to check it out.
NotePad: I ran a version I liked a lot in 9.1. Haven't found
anything to replace it. Someone claims a replacement but it didn't
have the same features.
I think that's about it.
I'm making the transition gradually.
Kind of a sluggard when it comes to change, I guess.
Hope this generates some interesting discussion and suggestions.
BTW, it's worth reiterating once in a while how much I appreciate this list.
I've been on some other forums lately (auto repair, etc) and none compare.
Thank you.
Cliff
