Recently moved my wife's content and settings from a white Macbook to an Intel-based Macbook pro.
So when I went to open her contacts database created in Filemaker Pro 6, no dice, since that is a PowerPC-based program.
And if I try using the later-version trial I got from Filemaker, it's Catch 22 time all over again, since I cannot import the file without having a working version of Filemaker Pro 6.
