I have a copy of that and Microsoft Project for OS 6/7. Haven't used them much, but I intend to.

Microsoft Project ? for 6/7 Interesting .......... funny thing is i have not been able to find a referance to it online anywhere ......... i have this feeling it was not all that popular and did not last very long ........... not like Mac Paint and Mac Write ....

FYI for those that don't know it can on a diskette with system 3.2 (my 1986 ver) but the app with run on 6.07 on my SE ..... I cannot find my S 7 boot floppy yet to test it with that.

Yeah, I have two copies of it in the box. One is complete (including Guided Tour audio tape,) one is missing the audio tape and one of the manuals.

The big deal is that the "Project" apps (LisaProject, MacProject, Microsoft Project,) are really only useful to people who manage projects. (As the name implies,) whereas painting and word processing apps are useful to just about anyone.

P.S., Microsoft still makes Project to this day, a fully updated part of Office.

Yeah I have Multiple Versions of MS Project going back to office 2000

I borrowed the copy I have from a construction that used it back in the plus day for project management ......

I have copied the diskette, and I am in the process of PDF'ing the manual ....

I believe Claris also had a MacProject II at one point.

I agree though, they are only useful to certain people and my guess is that 90% of the population will get much out of a project app. I don't own any of them and am not actively looking for them either...not something useful to me like Print Shop or ClarisWorks.

I don't understand ... is it being said that Apple sold MacProject to Microsoft? Or did MS just create their own competing version?

MS had their own version, just as they had Word to take on MacWrite.

Apple "sold off" MacProject when Claris came about. They got all of the programs with the prefix of "Mac" (except MacDraft, which was never an Apple/Claris program) and updated them...MacPaint 2.0 was first followed by the "II" series of programs--MacWrite II, MacDraw II, MacProject II, and FileMaker II (though that was simply a renamed version of the existing FileMaker, which I believe was purchased from a company called Nashoba).
