first of all...
thank you, thank you, thank you for this wonderful forum. I'm thrilled to have some Mac help without paying an arm and a leg!
I have a (really) old Power Mac G3, the beige desktop model. It's been wonderful and I love it. However, I recently came into some money and was able to buy a new Macbook Pro laptop. Which is great. I love it, but I can't figure anything out on it. I always thought of myself being Mac savvy, but it turns out, I don't really know very much.
I didn't really keep up with my software updates on the G3. I am addicted to Photoshop and have the old version 5. I used 7 at work and didn't really need to upgrade at home. The same situation with QuarkXPress. I want to buy the upgrades and use them on my new laptop. But as you know, I can't load that old software on my new laptop because of the processor (or something like that).
Here's my question: Can I buy the upgrades and load them on my G3 and then transfer them to my laptop somehow? And if so, how do I transfer the applications from the G3?
Am I sunk into buying all brand new software?
This is the first of many questions, but we'll see where this gets me!
Thanks in advance for your time.
