Why is it so cold?? Really, why is it so cold in my apartment? I'm afraid they just turn the heat off May 1. Bah.

There are a ton of cute cat in the sink pictures over at the kittenwar. SO CUTE.

Dutch Delight, Perkins. It has strawberries and bananas. Yummm. Now I know you must come visit Madison, we have two Pancake Houses (the Original version) in just our one small town.

My mother is a geneology fiend. As far as I know, she does not have geneology software. She's not technical, but does all right with her PC.
Any suggestions?

Our cat used to lie in the bathroom sink. The only time he's ever been cute.

Family Tree Maker. The interface is really intuitive. It's simple to put in the basic stuff, and once you get to know the program a bit better there are ways to put in practically any information.

Thanks so much, Hil. You're much better than Google.

If I needed another reason, that would be a good one.

Not for them, and it is really close to G's work, where I think he will be headed after breakfast.

However, Family Tree Maker's distributor has the fun habit of asking for copies of your genealogy so they can put it in their main database which is only available by subscripton. If you object to doing the work for free so someone else can sell it, then you might want to check other packages. I use Family Origins from FormalSoft (I'm a recovering genealogy fiend who's been feeling the itch, but between fic and dead relatives, I generally choose fic for my spare time. Dead relatives don't have hot sex. And if they do I don't want to know.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I use FamilyTreeMaker too, but it was fairly expensive, it installed some additional software I didn't want that was hard to get rid of (I think it was adware from Broderbund, but I don't remember the details now, just that it left a bad impression—it ran in the background and wanted internet access), and they try to suck you into signing up for subscriptions to their database and software upgrades.
One alternative is Personal Ancestral File, which is free from the LDS [link] It has just as many bells and whistles as FamilyTreeMaker, but is not quite as intuitive to use.
edited further to add: It was dssagent.exe, spyware from Broderbund, and they say they stopped doing that in 2002.
