[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1728248, member: 42497"] G'day and welcome to the forums. The problem is Karl, the final Appleworks, 6.2.9, released almost 12 years ago, requires PowerPC architecture to run,. and the final operating system to handle this, via Rosetta, was Snow Leopard OS X.6, also an old operating system as the new to be released on 20 Sept is version macos Sierra, OS X.12. Snow Leopard has been abandoned some years ago now by Apple who seem to run security and other updates for the two prior OS to the current one, so you would need a MBP capable of running Snow Leopard which will mean a pretty old machine. This will be an early MBP models 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 but be careful as the late 2011 used the same model numbers but will only run the later OS, Lion OS X.7.
