I'm thinking of switching from Family Tree Maker 2005 to PAF. I'd be using it for GEDCOMS and some chart & report print outs.
At the same time I'd be using ancestry.com's My Ancestry trees and am hand making a website with copies of all source pictures.
I have family that are so computer illiterate that reading a web page that doesn't auto start from a CD is a real challenge. That makes Root Magic's sharable CD a no-go. They also are unable to figure out ancestry.com or even e-mail.
I've heard the recent horror stories about FTM 2008 upgrade, so that upgrade seems to be a no-go on my end.
New version of FTM doesn't do reports except via ancestry press. Ancestry.com trees only seem to print out ancestor charts, not descendent charts.
So, opinions on shelving FTM and shifting to PAF?
