• Genealogy Software Guide http://www.genealogytoday.com/software/guide.html Welcome to one of the newest features at Genealogy Today, a comprehensive listing of computer programs for genealogists. We have sections covering Windows, Macintosh, DOS, Unix and (the latest craze for mobile genealogists) Palm OS and Windows CE. We have also organized each package by license (Commercial, Shareware or Freeware) and functional category (general purpose, reporting, converters, web page generators) - making it quick and easy for you to find programs matching your specific needs. With over 200 software programs available for genealogists, our Genealogy Guide has even more ways for you to distinguish between programs. First, we list the most recent price and give you links to the software package home page and demo downloads. Second, we include contact information so you know who to ask questions. And lastly, we invite users to rate the family tree software they've used in the past, so on each program listing you'll see an average score. (Oct 24, 2006)
• Clooz 2.1 http://www.clooz.com/features.html The all-new Clooz 2.0 has been released! Clooz 2.0, the electronic filing cabinet for genealogical records, has been completely rewritten and now includes more than 100 templates for specific genealogy records, plus the ability to use generic templates for those records without a specific template. Clooz is not a genealogy program, it's a utility that can be used in conjunction with your genealogy program to keep track of all the papers and electronic documents that you collect during the research process. In fact, this version of Clooz can work directly with Legacy Family Tree 6.0, directly saving people and sources added to Clooz. But users don't need to use Clooz with Legacy--it works on its own as well.
  This version of Clooz includes a GEDCOM 5.5 import, making bringing your people and sources into Clooz a quick and easy process. There is also a Research Log, where you can enter information about resources as you look at them, whether you have positive or negative results. If your research results in a positive find, you can add a Personal File Number to the Research Log template and then create a new Clooz template based on some of the information in the Research Log. It's a quick and easy way to record your genealogical results as you're researching.

• A note about MAC & Windows, an excerpt from http://www.apple.com/getamac/faq/ :- Can a Mac run Windows and Microsoft Office?
  
  Yes. Microsoft Office is available for the Mac, and Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files created on a Mac are fully compatible with Windows. Most other popular applications are available for the Mac, too. But if you need to use a particular Windows-only application, you have a few options: Boot Camp comes with every new Mac, and it lets you run Windows natively —  as if your Mac were a PC. If you want to run Mac OS X and Windows side by side, you can purchase Parallels Desktop for Mac or VMware Fusion.
  Install one of these applications, along with the Windows Installation CDs, and you can run the occasional Windows program right next to your Mac applications, without having to restart.
