The Appearance panel, along with Effects, Graphic Styles, and a plethora of other features first appeared in Illustrator version 9, not CS. So the techniques shared in this article can actually be accomplished up to two version earlier than CS :)

You appear to have addressed my question above but it would be very helpful for those of us who don't upgrade every time to know which versions a particular tutorial can be used for. BTW I have really found these tutorials very helpful.
Many thanks for posting this. I have been trying to figure out to add hard drop shadows to lines and rectangles that I use for callouts for years, to no avail. But your explanation finally solves the mystery!

Adobe - which version
You bring up a good point, Jacqui. Maybe each How-to should list the versions of software that the tutorial applies to.
