OK, I'm in on one. My daughter likes her sister's Asus Windows 7 laptop. She is tired of her buggy Windows Vista laptop she has now.

Check out a thrift store for a nice used player.. Around $10 - $15..

You're a mean one Mr. Grinch You really are a heel! You're as cuddly as a cactus, And as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch! You're a bad banana, With a greasy black peel! You're a monster, Mr. Grinch! Your heart's an empty hole. Your brain is full of spiders. You've got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch! I wouldn't touch you With a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole! You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch! You have termites in your smile. You have all the tender sweetness Of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch! Given the choice between the two of you, I'd take the seasick crocodile! You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch! You're a nasty, wasty skunk! Your heart is full of unwashed socks. Your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch! The three words that best describe you Are as follows, and I quote, "Stink, stank, stunk!" You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch! You're the king of sinful sots! Your heart's a dead tomato, Splotched with moldy, purple spots, Mr. Grinch! Your soul is an apalling dump-heap, Overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable, Mangled-up in tangled-up knots! You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch! With a nauseous super naus! You're a crooked jerky jockey, And you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch! You're a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich, With arsenic sauce!

Yes, but how low will they go? The current sale of the ECS motherboard with a $25 rebate is tempting ($29 final) but the Newegg buyer reviews report a lot of problems.

Any Cyber Monday deals for Amazon?

Cool, I'll check back at midnight. I'm hoping the Asus Motherboard will be a great price.

I suppose this holds true with the editions of Family Tree Maker Version 16. The v16 Standard has 6 months of ancestry.com access. I'm still waiting for my copy to show up in the mail. One of the down side of getting the rock bottom price for the version 16 software from a vendor on eBay is that the shipping time is up to 14 days.

Wonderful. Another sign of the times. We need to be consider carefully the increased risk playing the rebate game.

I ended up buying Family Tree Maker v16 STANDARD edition on ebay for: $10.89 CD in Sleeve (no box) $5.95 shipping/handling ----- $16.84 = Total If anyone is looking at getting this software especially the 2008 or 2009 editions, read the reviews on Amazon.com first. I decided to stay with v16 for now. Apparently, Encore started with a whole new code base when they switched programming language starting with 2008 version of Family Tree Maker. The 2008 and 2009 version lacks several key features from the last version of the old language code (version 16). I think I'll let the hard core FTM users let me know when the new code base is up to par. I've fallen too many times for the "new and improved" software releases to know new isn't always better then the old. I guess that is why Encore is still offering to sell v16.

Now I'm really confused about this software. Apparently, there are three version of the 2009 version of the software and I can't figure out which version is actually for sale here. Check Amazon.com (Linky) for reviews and why some have chosen to stay with Version 16. If this sale is for 2009 essentials version, you get a better price at Amazon.com

Family Tree Maker 2009 - Free Shipping for Limited Time USD 39.95 On Sale: USD 29.95 The Official Guide to Family Tree Maker 2009 USD 24.95 On Sale: USD 17.45 OR Family Tree Maker 2009 Basic Bundle - Free Shipping for Limited Time USD 64.90 On Sale: USD 48.67 I don't get it, bought separately the total is $47.40, why would you buy the bundle for $48.67? You would think they would knock off the price to encourage you to buy both with the bundle. I guess buying the guide by itself doesn't have free shipping. Strange.

I guess Family Tree Maker Version 16 is their 2006 edition of the software and the latest is 2009 version. I wonder why they are still selling the older version 16... Anyone have experience using this software? Any advice on what is the top choices for genealogy software? I have a older version of Family Tree Maker that is well out of date. I have been thinking of getting something newer. I have GEDCOM data file to import to the new program.
