Hello to all on the list: One of my non-computer activities is listening to a number of radio programs broadcast by some of the international broadcasters of the would. Since coming to the realization that almost half of my heritage is Swiss, I have tried to listen to the programs from Swiss Radio International (SRI) as regularly as possible. One of the feature programs of that station that I try to make it a point to listen to is called the Name Game. This is a monthly feature where one of the stations' staff members goes to a community to describe it. Interviews are done with local citizens, business persons, or community leaders. Unless there is a very rare slip of the tongue, the name of the community is not given. The objective is to determine what the name of the community is, send in the answer on a post card or in a letter, and have your name put into a "pool" from which three are drawn about six weeks later for prizes. The Name Game is the feature of the first Saturday of each month. Just as a point of interest, this past weekend my reaction to the Name Game was "Yes! Yes! Yes!" as all the hints pointed to the community from which two of my ancestral families came. It sure helped that my family had been able to spend a week there a few years ago. Now, for those whose activities have not extended to listening to international or short-wave radio, SRI has recently instituted an alternative means of "listening" to their broadcasts. This alternative is just up our alley, as users of the internet. At the web site <http://www.swissinfo.org> SRI has provided access to "real-audio" versions of the same broadcasts they send out over the air. From the opening page, you can even pick your language. The German, French, and Italian pages even have video, choppy as it is, to go along with some of the stories. We who are "limited" to English have only audio to listen to. Currently, every other week, there is a feature on one of the cantons. It hasn't been specified what information will be of most use, but at the end of the year, there will be one or more questions, for which there will be a drawing from among those sending in the correct answers. If you any questions about some part of what I have described, please feel free to contact me. Hubert Paulson
