I have managed to resurrect my 25 year old Mac G3, and have discovered the 1898C database to which I have (but don't recall where) made reference in the past. It will be a slow process as the optical drive ist gefukt, and the new iMac I just bought (because my 2011 iMac ist also gefukt) doesn't have one! - which I discovered after buying it. Such a thought hadn't even entered my mind. Everything now is done from "the cloud". Software is no longer marketed on discrete media where you have a backup at hand. Big Brother knows what is best for you!

Thankfully, both the G3 and the new Mac DO both have USB ports, so transfer is possible - next comes the hurdle of having a program that will read older formats - which is no slam dunk; things you think should work, often don't. So I MAY have to do things manually, but it is better than losing it completely. While I've saved everything from my 2011, some of it doesn't want to open - but I will persevere!
