Mine was more a case of the old G3 simply not being able to run 
anything newer (it was also "stuck" on MacOS X 10.2) ... BUT the newer 
versions of FileMaker Pro definitely have been becoming more 
overly-complicated and less user-friendly. The horrible Relationship 
'tree' being the most obvious example.
