I know what you mean, my other half could easily make the switch to
Linux I am sure but doesn't want to give up using Family Tree Maker
in spite of the fact she already uses an on-line version of Geneweb
for her public facing database so could just as easily use the copy of
Geneweb on my local server for her local database. I think she is
afraid she might lose some of her _extensive_ notes in the conversion
from FTM > gedcom > GeneWeb.
Eudora is going to be open sourced in April 2007 so could get ported
to Linux (there is a Mac OS/X version already) in which case she
wouldn't even have to switch email client and she already uses Opera
so would hardly notice the change of OS.
