In other words, you had one fewer excuses to dismiss OS X as a toy and reboot back into the familiarity and power of OS 9. Launch AppleWorks under OS X and not only could you open the same documents as you created under Mac OS 9, but because you were literally using the same app, both the formatting of your documents and the interface of the application remained unchanged. As it was, because Apple released a free update to AppleWorks (originally for Mac OS 8.1) which meant that the same app could run in both 9 and X, on those occasions where you booted into OS X to marvel at all the shiny, lickable buttons, you could actually also choose to get some work done. AppleWorks and the Capriciousness of NostalgiaĪnd if it wasn’t for AppleWorks smoothing the way between Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X-as a high-profile example of an app that could run on both thanks to Apple’s Carbon libraries-then I suspect that a good many people like me would have clung onto the classic Mac OS for many more months and years.
