I haven't installed Snow Leopard yet, but
plan to soon. I am very happy that, by dumb luck and good timing, I
have FMP 9.
I also don't like having the status area on the top. Why the heck
can't we have a choice, in the settings, of whether to have it on the
top or on the side?! I can see where having it on top might be an
advantage in some cases, but It could also be an advantage to have it
on the side in many cases.

Hmm. Let me get this straight--
You chose:
Windows and a three-versions-old FileMaker just because it has the
status area on the side
Over:
Vastly more refined (and virus-free for now) OS and tons of new,
useful, can't live-without-them-once-you-try-them FileMaker 9/10/11
features!
I admire your courage!
I wouldn't have had the guts to admit that in public.

we've stuck with OS 10.5.8. Unfortunately it affects imovie as you
can't update to ilife 11 unless you're running 10.6.3 and probably
other things too.

11, so its the age old question about updating the OS and the working
software. It never ends. I have no idea if 8.5 or 9 could have been
able to work on 10.6 but money being the prime mover with filemaker
its obvious they want you to keep spending money with them.
