AppleWorks on Snow Leopard

By , 2010-07-26 01:12

I am happy to report that AppleWorks 6 for Mac OS X runs perfectly on Snow Leopard using Rosetta.

Just be sure to get the latest update from http://support.apple.com/downloads/AppleWorks_6_2_9_for_Mac

Also, if you have problems running the update (hang/freeze), try running it with all network connections disconnected.
