Hello Fellow Rooters! After having my 386 computer's hard drive crash, not once, but twice, while using a Genealogy software program, I've decided to look for a different program. Can you tell me what program you use and why? There are new one's coming out every few months, and when I think I've made up my mind what to buy, another one comes out. Also, it seems that the packages each show different features, and it's hard to compare one with another. Sort of the apples and oranges adage. SO, I'm looking for price, ease of use, features, capabilities for notetaking, etc. I now have a laptop with Win95 which I think will help me tremendously, as I'll not have to transcribe information twice, just enter it into my computer as I come across it in microfilm, microfiche or books (some books I cannot photocopy from). I'd really appreciate your input as to your likes and dislikes about the particular program you use. Is spending more money truly worth it in additional features? Do you use all the features in your software? Is there a place on the web or a magazine that has the different genalogy software packages compared side by side? Thanks to all! ____ Marta Sherwood Diggin' in the Past for Sherwood/Allen/McLelland/PA/NY Stephens/PA/ NY/ENG Barbachano/Hernandez/Ramirez/MEX/SPA Colon/Davila/PR/SPA mdsf87b@prodigy.com
