[Framers] FM 10 on a new computer.

Do I understand from all of this that FrameMaker is no longer sold *at all* as a stand-alone product (ie, subscription method only)? 
If it *is* still sold as a stand-alone product and you occasionally take a course or 2 at a local accredited (per Adobe standards) college or university, see if you can get a copy at student rates.

MadCap Flare does a great job of importing FrameMaker files. I'm not a 
big fan of it since it's installed single-user Windows software, but 
it's a very powerful tool that can do almost everything FrameMaker 
can, usually better, and a lot more besides. 

If you use FrameMaker only for page layout, then consider InDesign. 
Yes, it's another Adobe program, but it's the standard among graphics 
professionals and from what I hear they get better support than 
FrameMaker users do. Also, there's a very active and friendly user 
community. There's a third--party tool that can convert FrameMaker 
files: http://www.dtptools.com/product.asp?id=mfid
