Hi Adrian,

You're right the number of records is not a problem as it seems. Besides 
Dale has sent to me privately an excerpt of the Gramps Wiki where 
someone claims he has imported a database of far more than 1 million 
people with success. It's really impressive.

As to me, I meant people records for individual records, but my main 
concern is rather how the latest version of Gramps fares on a Macintosh, 
considering also that the platform and the system I'm using are a bit 
outdated.

Regards,

Alain Pastor
