run old apps in current OS
« on: November 10, 2020, 07:37:57 AM »
I came across an old app that purportedly allows current Mac users to use older apps. SheepShaver has been around for awhile but I had forgotten about it. I have no personal experience with it but it might be helpful to those folks who need to run those older apps.

Wow...I had no idea this still existed. :p I can't fathom wanting to run PPC apps, myself, since many are close to 20 years old now, but hey, to each his own. :blink:
