Today eighteen years ago we released the MBS FileMaker Plugin in Version 1.0.  
Here the original announcement:

> **[ANN] MBS Plug-in For FileMaker**
> 
> Make FileMaker Windows Semi Transparent!  
> Take Screenshots from FileMaker  
> Run an Applescript on field exit  
> and more...
> 
> [Monkey Bread Software](http://www.monkeybreadsoftware.de/), maker of the popular MBS Plug-in for RealBasic and [geist interactive](http://www.geistinteractive.com/) have teamed up to bring the extensive MBS function library to FileMaker. The MBS RealBasic plug-in contains over 10000 functions, and this release represents the first step in a project to bring as many of those functions to FileMaker as make sense. Many many more features to com in the future.
> 
> The plug-in is available for FileMaker 8 and 8.5. It is available for Windows XP and as Universal Binary for Mac OS X There is a Developer Tool available to help you get started quickly with documentation and Calculation builder. Demos are available on the website

I guess that was when Apple replaced PowePC chips for Intel. The history repeats, now Intel goes away, replaced by Apple Silicon.
