Document paleotology underway
#1
Last week I revived my old G4 MDD/867 with a refurbed, recapped power supply, and have been digging into stuff on the OS9 drive. I had forgotten that at some point, I had used an application that converted old PageMaker docs into PageMaker 4.2 docs. I had a bunch of those converted files stored on one drive. These can then be converted to PageMaker 6.5, which has a plug-in for converting PM 4-6 docs. So far the oldest file I recovered dates from 1989, and that really blows my mind.

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.'"

I'll probably have to get a battery for my MDD. God knows what this n that is on it.

My biggest problem might be converting the odd AppleWorks document to something modern. Pages? I have no idea if there's anything at all I'd want to scavenge.



Ok and I've recently been re-listening to THGTTG, narrated by Stephen Fry.

A lot of fun.

Wow. So what can you actually do with PageMaker docs these days? Tongue
