I’m glad I’m out of that, but as long as I’m here I’ll send a chart on for free to anyone who has a right to it.On Mac Power Users #493 I made an off-hand reference to a script-and-shortcut that I use to save YouTube videos from my iOS device into a Dropbox folder that I later view on my Apple TV using Infuse. Especially as I understand the clinic that took my patients has sent all their paper files to Iron Mountain for curation (ie patient must pay $300 for a hard copy if required). Well, that won’t be my problem by then, and I doubt if my wound-up estate will give a hoot. Which is to say, 28 years after my last day in the office, assuming I saw a newborn then. Sadly, I am supposed to keep the patient files for anyone I saw under the age of 18 until ten years after they reach 18. But when the leukemia came along I had to quit, but I still fire up Sheepshaver now and then to see from old billings when I last saw a patient and whether their chart has been shredded rather than delve into that stacks of garbage in the garage to get at the filing cabinets. I helped the author of the app get a few offices to keep going with Sheepshaver on Intel Macs in those days. ![]() I bought a G5 PowerMac (still have it) and used it until I had to retire. That wasn’t a hard choice! But when the PowerPC Macs came to an end, it became harder to stick with it. When electronic billing for fee-for-service docs came to Nova Scotia, there was one Mac provider, and the rest were DOS-based. I still use Sheepshaver, although for a very specific purpose. I frequently go back to databases created years ago and immediately find the item I’m looking for and can download it or just consult the data. The program is wonderful and it allows me to keep all sorts of data and information, including documents such as receipts, articles, and all sorts of materials. They changed their policy for good reasons and I connected up with him. The developer is a fascinating gentleman with whom I communicated a few years ago when I was able to obtain the app because I worked for a very not for profit - a church lol. Easy to use, has iOS version and synchs with ease across all my devices.ĭEVONthink3 has been a constant with me for years. I use it for creating databases of medical information like blood pressure, daily diabetic blood tests, books collections, library of video/audio teaching programs, etc. Tap Forms is an easy to use yet very versatile database that allows you to design all kinds of databases. I have used it for years and it has been a life saver (not the fruity kind lol). There is so much you can do with it including the ability to create PDF’s with hyperlinked table of contents. My favorite app is Nisus Writer Pro followed by Tap Forms 5 and DEVONthink 3. I am pretty sure I still have a box with the old Quicken disks and all my yearly backups - I seem to remember the program did better that way for a long time. I gave it up for SEE early last year (and I don’t like SEE nearly as much, it’s a bit of a step backwards for me). I had started budgeting on Excel but really enjoyed Quicken when I first started using it. Quicken was one of the best investments I made in my 20s. That may be a winter project, to move client emails over to the Big Sur machine. I am still on a Sierra machine though (although I have a Big Sur Mini) - not sure how much I’ll like the newer versions of Mail. I still have Eudora on an older machine for archives. I reluctantly switched some of my accounts to Apple Mail in 2012, still using Eudora on an older machine for the others. With Eudora it was really easy to move mailboxes and mail back and forth between Windows and Mac machines. ![]() ![]() I did try Claris but was already pretty invested in Eudora (both Win and Mac) so it didn’t last long.
