In the box, I found a coupon for $50 off a purchase of a new (non-upgrade, non-educational) version of FMP 6. It also stated that this coupon is freely transferable.<br /><br />Now, I have no use for another version of Filemaker. So I'm just wondering if anyone here was considering buying Filemaker. If you are, send me a private message or e-mail, and I'd be happy to mail it to you. No charge. First come, first serve.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.filemaker.com/products/fm_home.html" target="_blank">http://www.filemaker.com/products/fm_home.html</a><br /><br />Filemaker Pro is a very, very good database application for both Macintosh and Windows. I've used it for nearly seven years now, although only for small personal files and a Star Trek database that has never really seen the light of day. (Something similar to Captain Mike's Galactopedia.) My father also uses FMP, and literally every aspect of his business (he's a one-man consulting company) involves Filemaker. He's created analysis programs, tree tracker databases, and other helpful stuff. There's a whole lot that it can do. The nearest comparable product is Microsoft Access, but by all accounts, FMP is a heck of a lot more versatile and powerful. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Nim Pim Pim</b> <br /><small>Member # 205</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,7,8,12,36,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 08, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">12:36 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> My company has used it pretty much since it came out, it's great for keeping track on projects and stougkk. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Captain...
