Hi Steve,
there a lot of recommendations on theTechnical Board for peoples favourite programs which you may well have seen.
Even if you just get temporary free software it will allow you to get free of Ancestry quickly while you decide the best programme Especially as all your jpegs are on hard disc.
Although I have all on C;drive I also have everything duplicated on an external Hard disc.
I agree totally with your sentiments regarding intellectual rape. Worse than being burgled (and I have been ,but that sort of abuse by a so-called fellow genealogist was worse)

Springbok!  As ever, it's good to hear from ye.
I'm down loading my stuff onto a Gedcom, as I type. As your post alerted in the mail, I was squinting at a little thing I have here. I just worked out it's 126 MB of weird little 'HDD'. Considering the speed at which my GC's coming down? This'll hold the raw data in a tiny corner of itself  (Then, one of my Dogs will swallow this tiny little thing and .....  )
I've been all over the place already. There's enough software out there to support a small shop! What I'd be looking for, in an ideal world, is something which replicates the format I've been using on Ancesspit. Then I could fluently pop all my scans back into place. Only, this time round, I'll keep it all here in my cottage and will Never show any sign of having been interested in the stuff I'm paying through the nose to view on their site.
Burgled? At least I have my own, physical problems for a burgler to overcome here. On my site? It's like those I trusted have just said, " It's ok. He's out. In ye come  Just help yeself. And Enjoy! " 
No more enjoyment tomorrow. My site will be wiped!

Good lad!
I've allowed my searching enthusiasm to get out of hand(well my kids can sort it out can't they?)
A hundred (or is it a million?) downloads and 52 photo albums .Just hope I last out long enough to find my "missing" relatives before I meet their shades face to face!!
Happy to share with "blood relatives" but will haunt the rapists!!
Still love my familyhistorian progranne 3. 2.(plus Nicks Census programme) but the new 4. goes beyond my capabilities (Gadget is more conversant with the upgrade)
Nice to contact again Steve

Ok. This time, as the alert arrived, I was sat here examining my data from my Gedcom!
I've just got Gen Viewer Lite. That's an Awfully bog standard freebie. But, it's allowing me to get a look and make sure of what I have here. Everything appears to be there, thus far. Even the URL's to my 'photo's'. Handy for reminding me to methodically comb through my folders and put them where ever else they next go.
Family Historian Programme? ..........   Aaaaaaghhh!!! What's going on here?! Sorry, Springers; I appear to have started writing this response an hour or two ago. Then my sister appeared and ..... 
Anyway, Sis sent me new family photo's. They're on this PC and staying there.
My main thrust, right now, is finding that SW which will most closely replicate the format I'm used to on Ancesspit. Eg. I like to show 'Family History'. As in; Where they lived / when. What they were doing at the time. Where I gleaned this information. So forth.
Only, this time round, I think I'd sooner it stayed with me. HDD, CD, what ever. Of course, a way of sending out up dates to PC illiterate family would be good too. I'm no 'Programmer' myself, of course. But, I don't want everybody having to buy, or even DL ~ if avoidable ~ something else to share my stuff through.
Anyway, maybe someone wil have made sense of and responded to this, by the time I have time to make sense of that, next time? 
I'll get there.
