Have now got the spare system up and running again and downloaded the heap of emails that had built up at my ISP. The main system needs drastic surgery tho' so will have to wait and see if Santa will bring me the necessary bits and bobs to get that back online. I will make a start on catching up with the backlog of emails tomorrow. on a personal note Joy's eldest daughter will be getting married at 6am in Cairns (8pm UK time) today before taking a helicopter flight to the Great Barrier Reef for a short honeymoon before finishing their Australian adventure with a week in Sydney. Morag & her partner have spent the last 3 weeks on a sight-seeing trip driving from Perth to Darwin, from where they flew to Cairns . Their marriage is already recorded in my genealogy database so they had better not have last minute thoughts :-) Things worked out nicely for them so that Morag could see her new grandson before they left rather than having to wait until she got back home. -- John Lewis Debian (Sid) with the GeneWeb genealogy package
