[or-roots] New Family Tree Maker

[Shaun Christian Merchant DVM]

I have desktop with 8.1 and a macbook pro as well as an ipad I run FTM on.  I have ahd good luck with both full versions.  I don't waste my time with the mobile version.  It works well for showing but not for doing any work.  I believe I prefer the 8.1 desktop buty have to admit I am still learning the mac.

They made the program shorter by cutting out all of the old stuff that went back to 3.1 you can run it in 32 or 64 it will upgrade some newer 32 programs to run on it. The real nice thing is it is constantly upgrading and fixing bugs mine runs great I have used it now for over a year and I'm very happy. I have a touch screen monitor and that really makes it neat to use. updating from XP is like going from a model A to a new 2.5 meg sports car.

I never liked MAC, but its getting to be more a choice that is popular now days..mainly for people who were done with MS.  I looked at a Win 8 laptop, nice, had a lot of features better than my old relic, but sigh, $ 289. just don't come easy and I did not really want it, except I have the feeling to keep up to date even tho I don't want to.
