Apple's Unknown Database: FileMaker Pro 2.1 (1993) Unboxing and Review

Most people are unaware that Apple has its own relational database that dates back to the 1980s and today is up to version 18 and is used by tens of thousands of people world wide, with over 24 million total copies delivered since its inception.

The version of FileMaker we are unboxing today is FileMaker Pro 2.1, which was released as a small update to FileMaker Pro 2(1992) in 1993. This version of FileMaker Pro 2 came still sealed in its original box, and we will be doing a full unboxing, review, and demonstration of it. The demonstration Macintosh is a PowerBook G3 "Lombard" with a 400 mhz PowerPC processor, 512 MB of RAM, and a 4 GB hard drive.

Hope you enjoy :)
