In addition to StuffIt, there were also various versions of UnStuffIt.  I wonder if any of those would have lower system and RAM requirements to be able to open .sit files stuffed with versions of StuffIt the older Macs cannot run?

Better way to say it might be that "[INSERT NAME HERE] was good until they sold to Adobe." ;)

Pretty sure if .DS_Store is deleted, it will be recreated.  I don't think it's critical.  I could be wrong though so backup before trying it.

The way they respond to people, even paying customers on their own forums, leads one to believe they are living under the delusion that they still have 95% market share. No bleeds or color on the invoices.  But I've had bleeds and Pantone color matching on other items I've used data and mail...

Yes, but I have Fireworks CS3.  And if anything happens to it, I cannot reactivate it. I was just giving examples of why it wouldn't work for me. You would think that, after twenty years, more page layout software than InDesign would be able to do mail and data merge.  A lot of people have...

Dang.  I'm curious how Thunderbird will work.

I don't think Word or Pages could handle bleeds and probably not crop marks either.  Or Pantone color support. And some of the stuff I would probably tear my hair out trying to do in Word or Pages. Fireworks is going to be the most difficult to replace.  PhotoLine comes kind of close, I think...

What are you using for eMail?  Thunderbird or Apple's Mail?

Can't help but I can share in your misery.  I remember a book long ago for programming in BASIC.  You had to type in the code from the book-- no examples on floppy.  And I remember this one program--I think it was something somewhat lengthy, maybe two to four pages in length--and I typed it all...

I didn't like Quark's interface even when it was the top dog.  I started with PageMaker then went to InDesign.  InDesign might as well have just been called PageMaker because it feels more like an evolution than a brand new thing. Microsoft Publisher or Affinity Publisher?  I remember on the...

Mac, Windows and iPad all use the same file format too, so you can work on the same file on whatever platform you want. And, if you have Photo and Designer, the three sort of integrate together (versions 1.7 or newer), so you can be in Publisher and, if you have an illustration or photo you...

I use Pages '09 for writing though I do worry whether anything will be able to open a Pages document in the future.  Still have a bunch of files in Pages '08 too. My impression is that is been downhill since Pages '09.  Same with Numbers too.  My father has the current version (or current-ish)...

Affinity Publisher (Mac and iPad.  Windows too.) Others besides Quark and Scribus which you already mentioned: iCalamus iStudio Publisher Swift Publisher Haven't tried any of those so can't say whether they are great or not. Another option is CorelDraw.  They've had an inconsistent...

Another consideration is, if you are going to do this regularly, you might want to consider using different software for each issue just to highlight the different applications that were available at the time.  So, for Mac, you'd have PageMaker, QuarkXPress and Ready Set Go!  If you wanted to...

PageMaker 5 will run under system 7 on a 68030 processor.  PageMaker 4.2 might be faster, but PM5 would be a better option, IMO. I thought that InDesign could open a PM5 file, but I was wrong.  So it must be PageMaker 6 or newer that it can open.  That would be an easier way to get it into a...

I'm guessing I may have gotten the information from this article: https://lowendmac.com/2007/the-truth-about-crts-and-shock-danger/ Says that: "If you want to minimize the chance of getting an unpleasant jolt, just let the thing sit overnight." But then there's this article that basically...

Out of curiosity, what are 900s and 950s going for these days? Same here, except mine is a Q800.  And I'm debating whether to put the PRAM battery in or just reset the clock each time.  Or, possibly, rig up a dummy battery with the actual battery in a more accessible location, as someone did in...

It's also easy to overlook and forget about something that lasts for ten years. I've had AA and AAA batteries leak in what seemed like under a year, so why take a chance? And I say that knowing I've probably got batteries leaking in different devices that I've forgotten about.

Also, if memory serves, the longer the CRT sits disconnected from power, the more it discharges naturally.  So, when possible, if you can let it sit for a few days or longer, there will be less of a charge to discharge, which makes it a little less scary when doing the actual discharge whether...

What about a SCSI2SD?  They have a PowerBook edition.
