I especially like the fact that it didn't over-write 2005, which I wanted to keep for the "everyone in" database. Despite a couple of the reviews on Amazon.co.uk, I had no trouble installing. The screen looked a bit cluttered at first, but I've got used to it. The main thing I've missed thus far is the lack of dates on the index - it's harded to see which of half a dozen "James Robertson"s is which. That may be fixable, but I haven't got around to reading the handbook file yet. More quibbles may arise as I use it more. The included free time on Ancestry.co.uk merged easily with my current subscription, postponing my renewal date. That pretty much covered the cost of the software! One thing, if you decide to get it, check prices before you buy. I got mine on amazon.co.uk in one of their regular software sales and it was less than half price. Lesley Robertson
