MacWrite? What's that?

It's quite trying to have to find 15-year-old install floppies so one can access archived stuff in an obsolete format. (And find a floppy drive while I'm at it.)

I should just thank Eris that the old software even runs. I need one of those Federation tricorders that can access 1000-year-old alien logs in 20-30 seconds of thinking.

Every once in a while, the techsupport mailing list here at VT gets a "Hey, does anybody have a Dingbat & Co 10 milli-whatsit tape drive? The kind that came with a PDP back in like, 83? We've got some data on these tapes that a professor needs..."

Scary part is, usually someone has one, working, and gets the data back...

If you actually need it, I have a working copy of MacWrite II on my PowerBook, along with ClarisWorks 4. Hey, it's an LC040, with only 32 megs of ram. Has to be simple.
