[QUOTE="MacBiter, post: 1947424, member: 421638"] [B][I]ONE.[/I][/B] I bought FileMaker Pro 10 cheap from Amazon when FMP 12 was current, and last year I bought FMP 12 from eBay. You might not need Libre Office as FMP will convert old databases to a later format? [B][I][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]TWO.[/COLOR][/I][/B] This is where Libre Office DOES come in useful, as it will open very many old file formats in WP SS DB etc. You can use LO to edit those documents though you will not be able to save it in the old format but something more modern and universal such as pdf. [B][I][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]THREE.[/COLOR][/I][/B] Yes, I remember I disconnected Photoshop Elements 6 permanently, and Photoshop CS6 while setting it up, for this very reason. [B][I][COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]FOUR.[/COLOR][/I][/B] I don't believe it is possible to clone hardware? You can clone everything running on it, but each machine has a unique number which is stored ... where? On a ROM chip somewhere? [/QUOTE]
