It's helpful to have reviews written by users rather than by manufacturers or vendors. You may feel that you won't benefit from it, but that doesn't mean that others won't.

Thanks for letting us know about this great website, Kathleen! It should prove very helpful to genealogists who want to determine which software best suits their specific needs.

Joy and list, I totally agree with you! And if Dick Eastman finds it important enough to write about in his newsletter/blog, well, I ask you, isn't that an indicator of its worth?
