I recently moved up to a new 17" iMac with OS X Tiger; now how can I transfer the old text files from my old G3 iMac onto the new guy? I did them in Appleworks 5 on my old G3.
I transferred all my writings via zip drive, but the shiny new machine doesn't want to know them. An error message says that "the Application is not supported on this system." Also, the old AppleWorks 5 app won't install.
The thing is, I wrote on the old word processing app for 10 years, never upgraded, never needed to. I'm wondering then if the problem, for me at least, is that I never bought any of the various upgrade iterations of Apple OS and AppleWorks; so now this fancy new Intel iMac can't read applications that are this old.
So what to do? (Besides continuing to use the old G3, that is
