I need a recommendation for which Mac to PC file converter software program I should buy. I know, I know, perish the thought, but I have a PC environment at work and have been putting this off for way too long a time. The recent crash of my 9600 really left me in the lurch and so I must begin this task in earnest. I really need to be able to convert my files and stop emailing them to work... I have seen several different programs, (SoftWindows, Virtual PC), but don't know which to get. Most of the Mac files that I want to convert are ClarisWorks/AppleWorks, but I also have a bunch of pictures I want to save to a disk that can be read by a PC.
SoftWindows, Virtual PC are not converter programs but rather programs which run a DOS / Windows environment on a Mac in software.
I don't think those programs are going to do anything more for you than a Windows machine will.
There was ClarisWorks for Windows. It isn't sold new anymore but you might be able to find it on e-bay.
Most picture files are in a standard format that most OSes will read. Examples are JPEG, GIF and TIFF.
