Hi Bill & all I really do not think you should do away with the best (Ancestral Quest) because a Mac might be allowing ( in their high handed way) FTM (the worst) in to their platform. There is an answer. The Mac's now will allow the user to go parallel with PC programs on their platform . So you can continue using Ancestral Quest with a Mac. I have a relative who went Mac and is continuing with his Ancestral Quest by utilizing the PC parallel feature. I guess Mac must have realized that the PC's have so much more going for them so they had to adjust. Frank Easton Sherwood Park Alberta Canada
