Oh yea, I rememebr how eeasy it was to open Appleworks files from my
//c+ on the Mac. Oh wait.

Well, yeah, but Mac Write files from System 1.x worked great in System
7-- oh, right, no they didn't.

Word 6 worked really well with older versions of Word if by 'really
well' you mean 'not at all' and you had to buy a third-party conversion
tool.

Wait, when was this mythical backwards compatibility period when prices
were low and politicians were honest and the summers were long and it
always snowed on Christmas Eve?
