>Hi Allen, Why would you keep up both programs? I have my Family Tree Maker on my old desk top and have transferred it to my new lap top....but I like using it on the old pc so now when I make an entry, I need to make sure I enter it on both computers. Guess it is no hassle if you are organized and never forget to enter everything both places...but it makes me crazy. Also, a question to you....does the FTM 2011 make better pedigree charts than the old program...? When I make a descendant chart on the one I have I need to tape it together and it is so wide, it is almost useless...It is several years old and I just wondered if they've improved that. Sorry to the list for being off topic.
