So I really would like to have 123 on my MacBook. I'm retired and my own boss, with long term 123 experience and the last 7 years of self employed stuff in 123. ![]() I have long known about the wonders of Mac, but always constrained to PC by employment. ![]() I'm a brand new Mac user (MacBook Pro 17) but a very old Lotus 123 user since 1986, currently on a Windows XP Pro desktop PC. You can network such machines over ethernet, and remote control them with VNC if you would so desire, so that you can save on monitor power and desk space.įorgive me for going a bit off topic, but this is the first anything I've found which comes even close to what I'm seeking. If your investment in Lotus 1-2-3 is that critical, it might be time to find a secondhand Mac store, and purchase another Mac, such as an LC, or a Pre 6100/7100 machine, (such as a Quadra) and use it for 1-2-3 only. Most likely, 1-2-3 is a Classic App, meaning that it was compiled with 680x0 code only, and the G3 / G4 is needing to emulate all those instructions. This is where the terms "Classic App, Fat App, Native App" come into play. and the PPC chips have to *emulate* those instructions in order for today's machines to work with it. The LC / Performa were running on 680x0 hardware. Rememeber that since 1 - 2 - 3 was written, that advances in processor, memory size, and chipsets have occurred. Perhaps consider getting a Mac LC / Performa and keeping an OS of the day (7.5, 8.1) and just running Lotus on it. You might have to track down an older system, and run it there. I wonder if the Lotus website has any updated information the the program. Yes, it is possible there is an extension conflict running around somewhere. ![]() Without having a copy around, it would be difficult for me to bugshoot it.
