We have no argument there, AW5 is 68k compatible as well and is in use both at home and in the office. AW6 is a bloated piece of krap that will be lucky, apart from overdue, to be updated. You can almost see uncle bill filling the hole.
Thanks for the offer but as I only live with the office admin, I'm not interested in what I already know. We have found work arounds for most things and moved to other programs for the rest. Very disappointed, its only loyalty that filled the office with "new world macs", lame as they are. Bells and whistles don't help productivity, you have put your finger on some of the problems AW6 made but its a long list. Claris was a good program. AW5 was expectable and didn't require new hardware AW6 opened the door for the Office suite from M$. The one upgrade, close to release in apple tradition, did little to help. Makes you wonder what the designers are using for inspiration. Thanks for the site. Claris email lite is on the OS8.0 install cd or 8.1 update forget which.
