TWR Computing is selling FTM 2005 for £9.99. Well worth the money if you are starting out. The additional features in 2006 are minimal, apart from the charting program which is an extra addon anyway. These so called 'deluxe' versions with 10cd packs etc are a complete waste of money for most people. They DO NOT form any pary of the actual software and are just a way to get you to shell out on data discs which they can't shift, and in most cases, have nothing that is of interest to you.

Babs, I just added this on another thread - went to wrong one! Hi Babs Charting Companion - I am using laptop at moment, so can check it. It came ona seperate disc, but was inside one of the FTM disc cases, I received 3 cases. Open up Charting Companion, if you go to file open, you can either browse to find a FTM programme or it can scan and find them for you. You choose a relative then decide which kind of tree you want, you can choose colours to use,fonts etc. I havent used it yet as I cant print from here. To be honest I think FTM 2006 has more options as you can choose borders etc.
