Sally - What is think is most unique and useful:

* Transcribing/extracting/abstracting material into the Source and then
being able to mark the text for output in foot/endnotes. I've not seen this
elsewhere.

* Saved Lists -- increased my productivity immensely.

* Ability to attach media to sources. In trying to move away from paper,
I'm now attaching scans, PDFs, doc files, etc., that I can access via a
click. Again, to the best of my knowledge this is unique to GenBox.

* Unparalled charts.

* Three principals to an event -- great when you have adoptions of a child
other than a step-child.

Lots of other stuffies include the abundance of Note fields everywhere, but
the above are my faves.

Subject: [GENBOX] The best things about Genbox?


Hello everyone,
I'm on the committee of the local branch of a family history society and in
a very rash moment I agreed to demonstrate Genbox as someone else said they
were going to show what you can do with FTM. I really don't know how I
would manage without Genbox, but public speaking is definitely not my
strong point, though it's going to be more like small groups gathered round
a computer for 15 minutes before moving on to the next demo and the next
bunch taking their place.

If you had to make a list of the best things about GB what would you
include? What do you think are it's most unique features? what would you
demonstrate and how?

Thanks,
Sally
