You can't beat it for stability, reliability, and ease of use. There are a number of FH programs available for Mac OS X (Google, Versiontracker, and the huge number of FH websites will guide you). I ended up using Reunion, after trying a couple of others. It does almost everything I want, including importing and exporting GEDCOM files, and producing numerous different types of reports and summaries. The electronic manual is the best I've seen. It's currently about £60, and worth it. Check their website: http://www.leisterpro.com/ Some of the Mac offerings are shareware, or even free, but I wouldn't be so confident of their versatility compared to Reunion. There is a downside with regard to Sussex however. The Sussex Marriage Index CD will not work on a Mac. As far as I can gather, it uses some Windows-only program to extract data from its database. If computers are your hobby, you could of course run Windows under OS X, but that would seem to be an extravagance if you only want it for that one thing! Have fun with the Leopard!
