Gagaman Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Hi all,A parent donated 4 imacs 333Mhz with Macos 8.6 to our school. They can be used to surf the internet.I would like to have a free alternative for appleworks or office; so the children are able to write/print some text.Also if some of you know about free educational programs for macos 8.6, please post them.Thanks alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagaman Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Thanks Pops but it seems openoffice is only developed for MacOs X. Those imacs are not capable to run Macos X. So thats not an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagaman Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Thanks for the suggestion!I can only find Abiword for MacOs X... Maybe I overlooked the version for Macos 8.6.So still searching for a wordprocessor for macos 8.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Abiword was the first thing that poped to mind for me as well, but I saw it was OSX only.I have found many notepad alternatives for OSX, like http://noted.finotto.org/ but NOTHING for anything pre OSX.

Gagaman Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Thanks Trackrat I installed the program on an imac. Its quite basic, but it works.Will add it on the other macs, kinda curious what the teachers and pupils think about it. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
