I did that too until I moved. Moving is the great ridder of ‘I > will save that incase’.
I use Parallels on my Mac running 10.10 to run a copy of MacOS 10.6. That allows you to run Mac OS 10.6 on newer version of macOS. Now there is some issues about running a copy of Mac OS in a virtual machine. Seems like I remember for Mac OS 10.6 you had to install the Mac OS 10.6 Server version to be compliant. Not sure if Parallels blocks this if you try to install from a DVD or if this is just of those that what to be super-totally-legal. In my case I had a copy of 10.6 Server so I installed that without any problems. I use it occasionally to deal with 4D 2004 structures I run across. If Mac OS 10.6 will run 4D v6.8 that might be a solution.
