Apple should be ashamed to issue a new operating system (Snow Leopard) which will not run previous verious of apps like iWork. That is almost enough to make this loyal Apple customer to move on along - that and the iPhone fiasco with ATT&T only. Sheesh!
iWork 08 works fine on SL. If you upgrading from Tiger, not Leopard, then you should have bought the upgrade that comes with iWork ?09 and iLife ?09. No version of iWork is listed on their incompatible apps list, but trying to run a 2005 or 2006 version of iWork will surely have some quirks.

Doesn't work!! I even have the old program Appleworks running and still using it on my Mac Pro 2009, OS 10.6.2.
Have you tried looking for an updated driver for your external HDD? or trying a different USB port on both devices (if the HDD case has it)?
Yep. Both my USB external hard drives are LaCie. There doesn't appear to any new drivers on their website. Additionally, I have tried all the USB ports and the hard drive still somehow disconnects itself. What's odd is that once it does this, the system partially thinks it's still there because if I try to restart or log out, the system hangs until I manually shut the HD off.

Yup! Appleworks 6.x.x still works on my system as well.
