Coming to Mac for the first time. Bought a Powermac Sawtooth secondhand, wiped osx 9 off and installed OS X. Super machine, fantastic O/S, then one day, wanted to load Filemaker Developer 5, and the O/S wanted to search for Classic, which of course doesn't exist on my machine! From trawling...

I bought imic for this purpose. It connects thru usb and is perfect and has reasonable software too. A moderate price for such a tool. Steve Butterworth Time is what you make of it.

Thanks for your reply Grayshades. I have ThinkFree, it is a bit slow. I have also Open Office, which is faster at opening and I am happier with that. Have not heard of Ragtime will look at that. Steve Butterworth Time is what you make of it.

If you move to OS X then I would highly recommend http://www.titanium.free.fr, and their program Onyx, it optimizes, cleans & much much more besides. Which is important when your Mac is NOT switched on and running the whole time as you need to consider maintenance, and that's where Onyx from...

It also works the other way without problems. On the Mac, you have finder related hidden .ds files they are visible on the PC end, but you can delete them from a Toast session. I use Toast Lite 5.2.2.1 and have no issues with Hybrid (as Toast calls them) CD's being read on Windows or Linux...

How can we talk of iWork as competitor to MS Office, if there is no spreadsheet???????? Thank heavens there is Open Office and Appleworks, otherwise there would be no spreadsheet. I am sure as a word-processor and presentation package iWork is great, but is no competition for MS Office as it...

start the file, and if you see File, Export records, then you can do it. If the programmer decided in his wisdom to exclude you from exporting, then you have to get hold of that programmer before you can get your data! Steve Butterworth Time is what you make of it

Same way as I said before in this thread, unless of course whoever created this application has not disabled exporting. Steve Butterworth Time is what you make of it

Know nought abou the MAC, but I would try the same way exporting from FM to TAB or CSV Steve Butterworth Time is what you make of it

Johnny, You are welcome. Outlook I will never use. Steve Butterworth Time is what you make of it

Opera. Full stop. The rest just don't compare. Steve Butterworth Time is what you make of it

Thanks. Did that too now. Works a treat. Gives me even more respect for Eudora. Steve Butterworth Time is what you make of it

Videobruce Right on man. I have gotten so used to Opera doing all those things that I take it for granted! It is just a brilliant product. One thing I find more than useful, multiple downloads from different places at the same time. Never works with other browsers. Steve Butterworth Time is...

Dates are always a pain. I find the best way is to move dates as a text field. Although as you say they can always be <doctored> in a spreadhseet. Glad I helped you. Steve Butterworth Time is fluid

First of all in Filemaker export to TAB delimited text. Open up Access and use the wizard in Access to import this TAB file. I have never had problems doing it this simple way. Steve Butterworth Time is fluid
