It opens no problem and runs just fine. It is not a question of "opening and running just fine." Have YOU been able to download any of the software listed at this site? If so, which? I have tried this several times over a period of several weeks and am unable to do it. Furthermore, when I go to the website of J. Bipes, there is a message there about software for old macs. This message says something to the effect that the site is "closed" to downloading of software for old macs. Which is exactly what one is led to believe that he can do, based upon the list of software which is SUPPOSED to be available for downloading. Now once again, tell me exactly WHICH pieces of software you downloaded from the list presented, in the face of the "site closed" message! An apology to >Cathy is definitely in order.
