I think it is very appropriate to answer how to questions from anyone on the list. BUT, in this case the question was about a piece of 1995 software. REALLY!?!


from the OP

As my iMac is getting older, I've been wondering what my options are.

Well, not to be too smart assed about it, but, how about giving the 21st century a try. We are about to start year 09.


Seriously, though, FileMaker Pro is too much for a mailing list. Search google.com/mac for a mailing label program. You might even get pretty close using addressbook.app. A concern is that you have been using an outdated piece of software for so long that the database format may be a pain to convert to a newer program.

If you can't find exactly what you are looking for in features, namely page saving features, re-examine your workflow.

The one piece of advice I will not give is advice on how to keep Mac Classic alive. Take it off life support, it's dead. UG's that still support classic are not doing themselves a favor. Mac Classic is only for novelty use, not, production use.
