At present, as my family tree programme I am using the free version of Legacy, which I really like and find very easy to use. However, for me it's one big drawback is that it will not draw a tree which I can stick on the wall, so I need a programme which will do this for me. I have a trial version of Genbox which I got with a recent magazine (only 7 days left to use it, sob!). That draws wonderful trees - lines going everywhere - spaghetti junction run riot. I love them. Trouble is, I do not much like the way the rest of the programme works so am considering a) Upgrading Legacy and b) Asking for Genbox for Christmas just so that I can export my file as a gedcom from Legacy into Genbox in order to draw the tree. Genbox is about £30 though, which seems a lot for the limited use I would make of it. Anyone got any helpful ideas? Tina

Good old fashioned paper and pen if you want something to put on wall, after all, these computer programmes on floppy or CD will be out of date in a few years more than likely!!
