[QUOTE="MacBiter, post: 1949245, member: 421638"] It was very useful - I particularly liked its Subscribe, and Macro features which were never replaced in Apple apps even though Word has had them since the year dot. But I'm not sure Jobs killed it off through dislike? After all it was Carbonised and would continue to be bundled with / run on PPC Macs. It was killed off by iLife on Intel Macs, though iLife didn't have the inter-suite flexibility of A/Works. I think the suite might have survived if they'd made the effort to improve its UI - after all, despite its power and flexibility it was a fairly ugly app by 2006. [/QUOTE]
