"Always interview brothers and sisters together in the same room -- since they
can't agree on anything about the family tree, it makes for
great fun to see who throws the first punch."
"It is a known fact that St. Peter checks all your Family Group Sheets for
accuracy before you are allowed to enter the Pearly Gates."

Computer aid!?!
///////////////////////////////
Does your mouse never seem to do what the instructions say it is supposed to do? Double check to see if the instructions were for right or left click. Many times we can get the mouse to do something, even if we click the wrong button.
Mouse backwards? Do you have to right click even if it says left? Tune in next month or email us for the instructions...
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Note: All references to
"click" are using the left mouse button unless otherwise noted.
Have a question or tip?
e-mail
us We may be stumped, but either way you'll get a personal reply.
