I have a few questions about some software for a Beige G3. I appologize if this is off topic.
My mom is a private/public-school music teacher. I think she has 300+ students. She currently has a day planner with names and check marks written everywhere. So my question is, what would a decent program be to get her organized and digital? The Beige currently has OS 10.2, but will be uped to 10.3 soon. She would need a list of the students, and something indicating if they had paid (monthly or weekly). Maybe address and phone numbers. She does have a Clie PDA with documents to go, so I was thinking of just creating an Excel spreadsheet. I have never used Filemaker, would this be a task for it?
Any advice, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried Appleworks?
It is a mature package from Apple with spreadsheet and database apps that would be more than sufficient for your mother's needs. It also comes with a word processing module that she may find it useful.
Appleworks keeps me Microsoft free and I feel pretty good about it.
Good luck.
