Thank you, John. Right now, I am using the netbook I won last year at the genealogy conf. and I am going to wait until I get the new computer (have not decided which one yet) before I try to put my FTM file info. into Roots Magic. I am trying to gather the information I need before I make any moves. The netbook is a challenge to someone who used to type on a manual typewritter an original and 7 carbons for the courts!!!
