It is up to the list admin to decide what is appropriate for this list and what is not. I find the computer info important as it had to do with genealogy programs compatibility and such. Plus, we are using a computer to converse on this list. If you don't like the thread, then by all means delete the message without reading. They are all descriptive in the subject. If you have a problem with the list, write me OFF list, don't complain on the list. Thank you for your cooperations. > I love the information on this list but enough with Vista info!! > -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA, list admin http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
