First thought: How do you mean UK software?

I'm a PC guy, although I started with a ZX-81, followed by an Acorn Electron, and an Atari ST. Some other things: They didn't test Ancestral Quest, which I think is quite popular. They're quite negative about RootsMagic, and don't mention that it has a free version, which is something that they do mention for Legacy. What I do like is that they're quite honest about things, like Legacy looking outdated. It looks like a mess to me, and if they'd tested Ancestral Quest, I bet that they'd say that's outdated too. It's like PAF on the wrong steroids. That's my € 0,02. Cheers, Enno -- Gramps-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gramps-users https://gramps-project.org
