This is a shame, since a lot of early Mac software will surprisingly still
run on my G5 running Tiger. In fact, I use an old System 6-era version of
Caere OmniPage for simple OCR tasks since it's so unbelievably fast by
comparison.

OK, that <bad word> STINKS! Just the night before last I had to fire
up ClarisDraw as even though I own copies of more modern drawing
app's, nothing works as well. First in 10.4 they dropped support for
classic AppleTalk breaking things for me, now this. Well, we may
just stay on 10.4.x for the next few years. As a result of the
Appletalk issue I didn't upgrade to 10.4 till earlier this year, even
though I bought it the day it came out.
