I have a old Intel PowerMac with os 10.11.
It wasn't compatible with my old Brother HL-1440 printer. I got around
this problem by creating a second HD with snow leopard on it. I am able
to print with this printer from snow leopard.
I installed some updates to this drive and now it has disappeared.
I'm trying to find a replacement DB that will open my old Appleworks DB
files. I've tried Microsoft Office
and apparently that doesn't have DB anymore. I've tried open office and I
can't get it to open my old
stuff.
I've looked into Filemaker and that seems to be around $40 on eBay and $450
on
