Here are my observations of the subject. 1. I think the FOW list should be gatewayed to the RM list. The bulk of the RM list members are experienced FOW users. This will benefit straggerlers on FOW, new members who were sold FOW, and promote upgrades to RM. 2. Answers for FOW issues on the RM list should be automatically directed to both lists. 3. Conceptually, RM v1 is the logical path from FOW v10. This change will probably be less severe than the changes when FOW 4 went to the redesigned FOW 5. To most users RM v1 = FOW v11, even though this is not the real case. 4. At some point in the near future, the FOW list should become an alias for the RM list Dick > > There is one little problem though. There have been an quite a few FOW > questions on the RM list.

Or, should I let the two lists run parallel to each other?

I received the following in my emails today from Genealogy.com: Special Offer: Stay in Our Family As a Family Origins owner, you need to know of some changes. We have been licensing Family Origins technology from an outside developer who has chosen not to develop a new version of this product. Because of this decision, we regret that we will be unable to continue support of Family Origins products. Support for your Family Origins product will end June 30, 2003. Because we would like to keep you in the Genealogy.com family, we're offering you a special opportunity to stay with a product that will continue to be supported. To help make this transition easier, we would like to offer you Family Tree Maker 10 with a free video (a $14.99 value) that will make learning the features and benefits of this new software easy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "D Wells" <dwells@chisp.net> To: <FAMILY-ORIGINS-USERS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 2:44 PM Subject: [FO] User Lists Question > Here are my observations of the subject. > > 1.
