Dunno, I'll Google and if it's free and actually makes sense to me why I should have it, I'll download it. I never actually, seriously even looked into Carbon Copy Cloner, even though I've seen enough mention of people using it in here on these lists. I never really "got" why anybody should use a special program to copy or move files or folders, when (for me anyway) it could be done straight up with the Finder without having to mess around with yet something else. <That's funny ... all this made me upgrade my OS 9 partition to usable 9.2.2 along with using Quicktime 6.0.3 (my 9.1 install wouldn't startup on my Yikes!) ...> Hahaha, I find this really amusing -- a little problem I run into because I decide I don't need the OS 9 partition on my iBook inspires YOU to UPGRADE yours! *laugh* <but as a test, I tried my ClarisWorks 3 from the dock ... it opened another app instead ... "Switch" ... which has nothing to do with OS 9 ...>Same thing happened when I went to the ClarisWorks folder ... any relation to Claris Emailer?> Ummmmm, hmmmm, I couldn't tell you, sorry. I've never even had ClarisWorks 3. I started with ClarisWorks 4 in OS's 7.x.x and 8.x and used it until OS 9.1 FUBARed it, at which point I started using AppleWorks. (I've been using AppleWorks 6 for about, hmmmm, 4-5 years now?) I've never even heard of Switch, and I don't mess with QuickTime either. One of the first things I did when I first got OS X was take the QuickTime icon out of the Dock, and it's THE first thing I do when I open up a "new" OS X after a nuke-and-pave (remove all of what are, for me, useless icons, and QuickTime is first on my list of useless!). I have no idea how any of this would relate to Claris Emailer, which, I should mention, opened up and worked just fine on my iBook (until now!) and still runs beautifully on my G4 (same 10.4.9/9.2.2 OS configuration). <I'm using NeoOffice for my spreadsheets and such now under OS X. Haven't really run any OS 9 apps for awhile.> I don't do spreadsheets at home, and don't have NeoOffice...but believe it or not, I've actually considered going to an OS X native email client (Thunderbird, which my boyfriend told me about, he uses it on HIS Macs). I didn't like Mail.app (I did have reason to try it briefly not long before I found Thunderbird)...It was IMO too much like Outlook (which I already knew I hated from having used it at work in a Windoze only situation), which may be good for recent escapees from MicroBorg who want an easy adjustment to Macs and OS X, but I don't want to use anything MicroBorg-like! So I downloaded and played with Thunderbird a little, and almost fell in love, except for one thing: It can't import my Claris Emailer folders! THAT was the dealbreaker. Ironically, Mail.app CAN import from Claris Emailer......except I don't like it otherwise! So, I'm still using my good old ancient Claris Emailer 2.0v3 for email. I actually LOVE my Claris Emailer, and the only reason why I was considering switching to an OS X native email program at all was because I thought it, being more "modern," would work better than CE in wifi situations. Ohhh wait... IDEA! Gotta pop open the Thunderbird and look since I don't recall off the top of my head, but I think it WILL import from Mail.app, so maybe if I import my ClarisEmailer stuff into Mail.app, and then import with Thunderbird from THERE...Hmmmm, Maybe! (oh no, another big nasty Project likely to take a week or more, I know, but.....something to look into!) ~Yersinia<-----wishes she'd stop thinking up all these big nasty Projects! ________ "Experience is the worst teacher.
