Favourite PC database software

About 35 years ago, when everyone got their “copies” of dBase and Clipper in Hong Kong’s Golden Arcade, I purchased the Foxbase. The package came with foam can coolers to thank the supporters.

That’s the path I went thru to earn some extra cash in the good old days. What about yours ?

dBase II > dBase III > Clipper > dBase IV > FoxBase > FoxPro > Visual FoxPro > FileMaker > FileMaker Pro
