An electo-mechanical device known as a disk drive failed in a wondrous and spectacular way, amazing all the Ancestry technicians with its demise. An inquest was held at a local Inn and it was determined that a replacement device could be provided by the Internet Fairies, but it would take a few days by canal for the delivery and set up. While the Ancestry community waited, it was determined that no foul play was involved and no fine would be levied, but that e-mail would be held up for about six days. Since the disk drive left no will or testament, it was decided to continue service on the new drive as soon as installation was completed. No e-mails were harmed in this event, but many were delayed. Some e-mails decided to return themselves to the senders and those requests were honored. In celebration of the resurrection of Ancestry's e-mail services it has been suggested that each of you post a query regarding a brick wall that you have faced. And if you see any of the Ancestry technicians still remaining at the Inn, advise them to return to their duties as soon as possible. Lou (list admin.)

Lou Good news, I had just had a new email program installed on my laptop and thought I might have to re subscribe when nothing from Rootsweb showed up until today. Yay, Linda B.C.
