Just bought a new Macbook laptop with dual Intel processor etc. Fantastic machine from all points of view.
I was surprised to find that the Apple Works suite of word-processor etc. is no longer supplied. Market forces I suppose, with MS Word having the monopoly. So I got it with the MS Office suite.
Old computer is a Mac G4 cube running on OS9.1
How do I transfer my stuff to the new Mac?
I can't do a direct link because the Cube doesn't have firewire, so I suppose I'll either e-mail everything into cyberspace and then recapture it on the new Mac, or load it onto a memory stick and transfer it.
But....will the new Mac translate docs written in Apple Works into MS Word ?
And what about my Internet favourites? On the old Mac I used MS Internet Explorer - how can I transfer favourites to Safari on the new Mac?
Or do I just print out the list and re-enter them manually on the new machine?
Any Macademic nuts out there can help?
