FileMaker Pro always comes with a pile of example files / templates ...
but the quality (and bugginess!) of some of them leaves a bit to be
desired, so they aren't a great advert for what FileMaker Pro can do.

There's quite a few web-based forums / websites, some of which will
still have old messages with FileMaker Pro 5 links, but whether those
links still work or not is a completely different question. Some of the
main ones include:

   - Worldwide Filemaker Community
     http://fmforums.com

   - FileMaker Community
     https://community.filemaker.com

   - FileMaker Today
     http://www.filemakertoday.com

   - Planet FileMaker
     http://planetfilemaker.com

Plus of course in here. I'm still using FileMaker Pro 4 and 5. I did
recently install FileMaker Pro 7 too, so will probably start moving
into that when I can since it doesn't require the Mac's Classic
environment. (But I will still need FileMaker Pro 4 for some databases
since that's the only version I have with the Binder / standalone
creation option.)
