How about having attendees bring their own lap tops if there are enough plug-ins or if enough battery power. They could download the free version and "play along" with your explanations. Perhaps the society would plan more programs for in-depth teaching or plan separate meetings just for RootsMagic users. My society has done this for 2 meetings on overall use of computers for genealogy.

A free Essentials version with no time limit. 50 free webinars plus shorter TV instruction programs. A complete Help Index and Helps free with programs, both versions.. Free downloads if you desire and no conversion from free to extended version. RM is very low priced. Pick and show a webinar on How to use RM or other selection. These are just some ideas. Use your own. Jon P *** On 4/5/16, Richard Akins via <rootsmagic-users@rootsweb.com> wrote: > I have been asked to give a short talk in August about Roots Magic to our > local genealogical society.
