Everything I used to have on floppy discs etc. was copied to newer formats before disposing of the computers that supported the old ones, & everything is still accessible.<br /><br />Like Unknown in 2015, I find it does what I want & is easy to use. The alternatives all seem less user-friendly.PJIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452520926264912822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793782800729950147.post-5390858346534732402015-07-22T20:17:35.501-07:002015-07-22T20:17:35.501-07:00Well, I'm one of those who just haven't fo...Well, I'm one of those who just haven't found a replacement I like for PAF. I don't see the problem as long as: 1. The program still runs on your computer. 2. You back up your data to .ged files. and 3. Future software continues to accept those .ged files. I run my PAF on a fairly new Dell laptop in Linux using Wine. I also have it available on my other older machines and on virtual machines running XP (offline) and Vista. I sometimes use other programs if I want some particular report that they may do but for general ease of use I just enjoy using PAF. It just flat does what I want and how I want. It was and still is a gem!lastromantic49https://www.blogger.com/profile/15352300459560808405noreply@blogger.com
