I Googled your description just as you wrote it, Mac Performa 6200 CD Power PC (no quotation marks), and detailed pages came up on it. Here's one: http://lowendmac.com/ppc/6200.shtml According to the specs, the model was released and discontinued in 1995. It has 8 megs of RAM, expandable to 64. Has a 1 gig hard drive. Cyndi's List has information about Mac software and computers at http://www.cyndislist.com/software.htm#Mac The information on that page includes a Rootsweb mail list for Macs where you can obtain more detailed assistance. Looks like "Reunion" genealogy software is the most popular software for Macs.
