Those Who Still Need Classic

Chris Adamson talks about the disappearance of classic support now that Apple has switched to Intel. It’s true, pretty much everyone has moved on from using classic apps, but there was one place I knew I could turn to find people still waiting for their favorite app to be updated: the HyperCard mailing list. Even there though the number of questions about intel are pretty light on as nearly everyone has moved on to HyperCard alternatives or just moved on to something else altogether.

It turns out though, that at least one person is running HyperCard on an intel Mac – using SheepShaver, an open source PPC Mac OS runtime environment. So apparently, it is still possible to run your favorite classic Mac apps – even if you switched to Windows.
