About 1 1/2 years ago I had three crashes in two weeks and on the third one I lost everything. I labored away and got 6,000 nmaes back in when I remembered a gedcom I posted to Ancestry.com. I went and downloaded it and had my database back, with NOTES and everything. It is worth considering in order to have several aces in the hole. I have them at three locations, it is cheap insurance. Have a good one. Gary Hawley ____________________________ Gary & List, This is a great idea as to posting your data on the web. There are a lot of places that give away free sites. Rootsweb, has started doing this also on a first come basis. However, be sure to let someone know where all you have genealogy data stored. Just hope that our children & grandchildren, appreciate our hard work we leave behind. Earl
