Thanks for your reply. This info is not for me - I have a new pc and would never switch to a mac because I am so used to a pc. This is information I am hoping to get for people who contact me for help with genealogy research - my first question to them is what kind of software do you have and lately ran into people with mac's and didn't know what to tell them.

I have been doing my Genealogy on my PC as it has my old Family Tree Maker and I just updated my copy of Legacy so that I could go thru my Family File and clean up my Locations and Sources in the hopes of Exporting the File to the MAC. I have found one Genealogy program called MacFamilyTree which has a lot of 3D graphics and is amazingly cool. Dunno how hard it is going to be to learn, though. I hear excellent reveiws on Reunions which is THE top-rated Genealogy app for MAC. It is $99.95 so I have not tried that one yet, but imagine I will, in the end. Try the MacTamily Tree and see if you like it. It is very different from anythig I have ever had on my PC. If you don't like that, I would suggest Reunions if you want to put out the mony. I think MacFamilyTree was betwen $39 and $59 or so... Good luck. I have been Googling for a good Genealogy app for my MAC ever since Christmas and these are the two best I have found. Let me know if you find anything else that you like.
