Is it worth upgrading from Mathematica V10 to V12?

Posted 2 years ago

I am about to try to bring a database of text and links from HyperCard on the Macintosh into Mathematica. One file has 16,000 text elements (called cards in HyperCard) taking up 75 megaBytes, another has 22,000.

I have Mathematica 10. Should I upgrade to Mathematica 12?

I'm interested in the Community's opinion

The data has a very consistent format -- this is the data (and metadata) of two of the 16,000 cards. It also has button links to other types of hypercard data (e.g. glossary, index). I plan to get all that into a series of mathematica notebooke and then continue reading the literature and taking notes on it, linking it to what is already present. That's what I used hypercard for, but it is only supported on machines that Apple doesn't make any more (something to do with memory management)

Thanks for responding

Importing the data into Mathematica 10 or 12 should be no problem if it has a consistent format. The question is what do you plan to do with it after you import it.
