Holiday Greetings and Best Wishes for a Smashing 2005, Twas the day after Christmas and all through the place A confused family historian was scanning the space Looking for wires and manuals and books and things To activate the new computer or modem that Santa did bring Although they've been researching for many a year They've waited until now to conquer the fear Of all electronic programs and finally get Ready to leap into the great unknown, the Internet Although they still cannot program the VCR clock On the World Wide Web they are hoping to unlock More genealogy connections and cousins to meet Braving virus and worm and spam that's not meat So remember, gentle veteran, of that long ago day When Santa gave you a computer on which to play And be kind, gentle, patient and clear With each newbie cry for help you are bound to hear Your new cousin is on hold with the software company For an explanation of the function key they cannot even see They have stories to tell of your relatives long ago So recall your roots, share your data and together we will grow. As always, please contact me if you have any questions or problems with the list whether it be duplicate copies, how to post, searching the list archives, whatever. Thank you and have a great genealogy year, Cathy DiPietro List Admin --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
