AppleWorks Living on Borrowed Time--Get it or the v6.2.9 Updater Now

We noted last Friday that maybe one could still buy AppleWorks from Apple's education online store, although its Web page cites a 2-4 week shipping wait.

Reader Ron Evry pointed out that the education store order page for the hybrid Win/Mac version. He wrote that schools are still buying it in large numbers, at least until supplies of the education-oriented hybrid are exhausted.

Reader Stan Kline let us know that someone he knows actually bought a copy from the Apple education store online and received notice that it has shipped. He also said that Apple employees present at a local AMUG meeting indicated that copies would be sold from the education store until supplies ran out, confirming suspicions. There is no longer any support for AppleWorks.

The v6.2.9 AppleWorks updater (not the whole app) is still available for download from this Apple Web page, so if you need a copy get it soon. [Bill Fox & Dana Baggett]
