Morning Listers , Thanks Alison, for your concern.. however my computer is set so that all messages come in and go out in a font that I can see very easily. at this time anyway. :) It is set at 14- Times Roman -bold only in rich text . I do not know how people receive it on their computers but I can read all messages very well, at present, at that setting. I use a yellow background which was suggested as better for the eyes than a white one and black font..I receive all message with the yellow background also. Some day I may need some other devices to be able to use the computer but at present , there is no problem. For any new member I am suffering with " macular degeneration" and it is the type that there is no treatment .it will get worst but Drs. and Ma. Eye Foundation for the Blind , cannot predict how fast or slow it's progression will be. My OUT research days are over, as lighting , films, books etc. I no longer can see. Here at home with the proper lighting and familiarity of the material I can still read and do look-ups. As you all know I am an amateur Mendon area genealogist and have in the past worked on many lines that were my ancestors and many that were not. This was mostly done during my 7 years as Curator of the Mendon Historical Museum and 14 years prior while compiling my family genealogy." A Pickering Line". At present and hopefully for a time to come. I can still answer queries and do home-look-ups. With the help of today's technology with computers , and the help of all of you on the list, I am sure this list and me can continue on for many years to come. So send in those queries, and replies, this list has been too quiet for far too long. Happy Holiday season, Alice List MOM
