daveydoom Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I'm assuming some of these programs may have older versions that run on Mac OS9? (I see Audacity has an older version that does.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 From what I have seen, some do and some don't but they always tell you if they do.Some say things like for MacOS 9 and Mac OS X. Some say Universal (which may or may not include MacOS 9??, but certainly would generally include PPC as well as Intel Macs).Very good question. Maybe someone who has used a Mac longer than I have will be able to answer more fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
