Bookends 10 lament
Posted: Wed Nov 03, 2010 9:20 am
I'll keep this brief: my MacBook died in September, and since I can no longer afford Apple prices—I'm a dissertating Ph.D. student in the humanities, and the sale of a car helped to finance the MacBook purchase four years ago—I sprang for a cheap netbook, at least for the time being. The problem, of course, is that I had no time to convert my bibliographical databases into a PC-readable format prior to the crash, which came totally unexpectedly. Friends of mine have Macs, of course, but I'll be damned if I can find a legacy version of Bookends 10 floating around anywhere now. I can't justify the upgrade to Bookends 11 for such a one-time-only task. This leads me to a pair of questions: firstly, is it in fact possible to obtain a legacy version of Bookends 10? I still have my license key. If not, is there a noble soul reading this post who wouldn't mind converting two databases, the only ones essential for my dissertation, into a PC-compatible format, as well as a formatted bajillion-page bibliography in .rtf, just in case? APA, MLA, Chicago, whatever. I'd be grateful. Sorry for the whining, by the way.
