Hello all, This is James Wall and I am the listowner for the LAMSON, PLIMPTON, and WOOLFORD lists and am sending this to all three at once. I was the victim of a trojan downloader spyware virus that shredded my XP operating system and removed my start buttons necessitating a complete memory wipe at the University of Wisconsin Comp Sci Department. I THINK I successfully moved my GEDCOM to an external memory drive before the wipe but until I get around to re-installing my Family Tree Maker program I can't be sure. But my ftw file was 4 gigs big so I do think I saved it, cross fingers. I lost everything I installed myself and had to replace windows XP with windows Vista so I am a new Vista user now. But I have lost my address book with all my collaborators e-mail addresses, any snail mail addresses and phone numbers that were not on note cards, and every single book mark I had (I had over 200 genealogy bookmarks easy so this really hurts). So if we have worked together, trade family information, or you want me to be able to contact off list please send me an e-mail OFF THE LIST with your contact info, please DO NOT reply directly to this list. I don't want to lose contact with anyone or the @#$% virus makers win. Thanks for your time and my apologies for having to post this in the first place. james wall ListOwner: Lamson, Plimpton, Woolford
