Hi Alfred, I enjoyed your analog about the donkey. Every time my impatience for V 10.0 to come in gets the best of me, I think about it and laugh. I agree with everybody that this is worse than waiting for Christmas! I'm sure the list will pick back up when V 10 gets into our hands and our computers. Then we will all have questions and new wishes. It's amazing how spoilt we get in such a short time! I wasn't paying enough attention at the version numbers and installed V8. on my new computer instead of V9 and put a gedcom into a new database. What a difference! I'm sure I will be just as spoilt to V10's new features in a month of using it. Laura ---- <I should apologize for my off topic, (and tasteless) attempt at humor. It looks as though nearly everyone has decided to stay quiet rather than take a chance on being the target of my rapier like wit. <GBG> I think I have figured out why the list is so slow. ......
