My Mac group has been running workshops on phpGedView -- jointly using it as a genealogy program on our HDs and using it to manage files up on the web. I'm getting there. I've put a file up on rootschat.net but having difficulty turning the MySQL bit on. But I'll get there.
http://www.phpgedview.netThe question of the longevity of protection of genealogy files has surfaced many times in discussions at my Mac User group. Everyone seems to go the way of printing hard copy as well as saving to CD/DVD. Also the people who have been researching the longest take extra precautions like keeping a copy at their bank, parking copies for safe keeping with other relatives, one chap keeps a copy in a big safe at his work premises. One person had a relative minding a copy and their house burnt down. It boils down to planning I guess and trying to forsee all catastrophies.
