'Reunion' is not cheap, but well worth the money to my way of thinking -  it keeps getting free upgrades,  and  when you think of how much you are willing to spend on certificates etc, it is an not expensive method of keeping things in order and easily accessible.   It has lots of possibilities - most of which I haven't tried yet - I use it in basic fashion - but as I get more skilled there is room for the programme to expand with me - (or should that be me to expand with the programme -   :-\   ;) )

If you are in Aus, now is a good time to buy it with our $AUD at parity or better!!!

I am still using the trial version, but since my birthday is in March, I think I might get it for myself as a birthday present to me :)

Hi Carole
Pleased to hear you've decided on Reunion.
I have tried others but somehow always feel more 'at home' with Reunion.
I agree with Wiggy you can expand with the programme ;D ;D
I use much more of it now after two years but there is still more to explore.
Above all it is a very reliable programme and does what it says on the tin!

I've just heard from friends that they think Reunion is bringing out a PC compatible programme - anyone know anything about this??   :-\ 

 -   Ummmm -   I think that should read a Reunion programme for PCs   - well that's what I mean anyhow - one that can be used by PC owners!

Thanks Jo - that would be great!   Meanwhile I have just found this - but it is years old so I don't know how applicable it is now!

And now I will stop sidetracking    ::)    ;)

Somehow think our messages got crossed. there is a PM for you telling you what you already know!!.
That will teach me to wander off when I'm halfway through writing it then come back to finish it!!

..OK...I'm going for "Reunion" too (also have birthday coming up)

Wiggy, I have a friend in Aus who might be interested....do you have a recommendation of where to order it from ?

I'm terribly, terribly, thick I know....but what do you mean about their having a "PC compatible"" one coming out ? I assume I can use the one that's out now on my Mac OSX laptop ?
