I'm working on her recipe problem, but havent thought about the genealogy
one yet <grin> and hey, if ya'll see a need for a linux version, then I'm
game, but I just don't see it ready for prime time yet, although for us that
don't mind tinkering with it, it's a very good system.

But these home Windows users seem to think that part of the computing
experience is downloading this-or-that shareware for this-or-that reason. I
still can't figure it out what it is they are trying to accomplish.
What about when Aunt Tilly wants to start tracking her recipes or genealogy
and she can't load her old Windows software to do that?
