I saw a rather amusing (?) in the latest news from Apple:  That is, the
changing of the name of ClarisWorks to AppleWorks.

If you will remember... 1984, the Apple IIc, and afterwards,  before the
Apple IIgs in 1986 are alive with an integrated logic (Hey, I am trying  :-)
that works:  AppleWorks.  In 1988, Claris launched AppleWorks GS, the first
integrated package with a graphical interface in color (Word Proccesor,
Database, Spreadsheet,

I don't know what componenets came in AW GS, so you fill in what PAO and
Dessin means. :-)

Communication).

In the American reviews dedicated to Apple II, and the Apple newsletter,
they spoke of AppleWorks machine.  In effect AppleWorks was a standard of
communication for many people, and was opened by macro commands, the
possibilties of mailings, etc.

Yeah, I am messing up some.  :-)

The first versions of ClarisWorks were very (en deca) of the opening that
AppleWorks offered, good since (hmm) re-take the AppleWorks files.

We (some verb, then "donc") the welcome to a new version of AppleWorks for
the Mac that gave about 10 years an AppleWorks machine, that gives a good
(gout de pomme might be "gout" of apple or a phrase) to the Mac !!
