The key word here is "trust". And I say NO! In the words of Ronald Reagan; "Trust But Verify" I would not buy any new software without first doing two things 1. Contact the Manufacturer and get a verbal that it runs in Classic in X on your model or you can get a " no questions asked" refund if it doesn't. 2. Post to any and all e-mail lists and/or MacWorld,etc, Forums for a "review" by an actual user on similar equipment model If you can't satisfy 1 and 2, above, don't buy it! albert My opinion only
