Here is a detailed guide for moving past Appleworks: As far as I know, only certain versions of EasyDraw can be used to translate them into something more modern. Already AW's drawing format is the hardest of the AW formats to find translators for. You need to translate your documents before translators for them become extinct. The problem is that AW has been discontinued for years now, and translators for AW file formats are becoming scarce. As far as developers are concerned, the integration of Grand Central, OpenCL and a 64 bit kernel will allow you to take full advantage of the dual processing power of Intel Macs.I highly recommend that you stop using AW (AppleWorks) for creating drawings, that you move to a more modern replacement, and that you convert all of your existing AW drawing documents into a more modern format *immediately*. If your Mac is operating at a slow pace, then for that reason alone it is worth the upgrade to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Faster Installation Time: Installing Snow Leopard on multiple machines takes approx 15 minutes in comparison to around an hour for Leopard.Microsoft Exchange Server Support: Mac users can now connect to Microsoft Exchange 2007 servers via Mail, Address Book, and iCal.Safari Beta 4 Default Browser: Apple included a beta version of Safari 4 with Snow Leopard.Cocoa Based Finder: Finder has a new Cocoa Desktop Window and Contextual Menu.Slimmer QuickTime Player: QuickTime X features a simplified GUI with a greater focus on codec support.This version of Apple's OS also has a reduced footprint. This update does not have stacks of new features, rather overall improvements and efficiency upgrades. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard is an upgrade to the previous version of OS X Leopard.
