I try to say thank you to each respondent, but sometimes I'm either very late, or I haven't gotten back to that particular project. I have your request for information on how the scanning slides went marked with high priority, but that has again rotated to a back burner project. I haven't done anything with it. ( I don't think I've thanked everyone who tried to help me on my OE question - that's still a small difficulty.)
It does need to be kicked into high gear, for that I appreciate your post - especially since today is Grandpa's 95th birthday, and the slides are a lifetime of family and travel. If he could still see them, it would be a bit more of a rush, but he's been legally blind for a few years now. I know a big part of my reluctance is due to the size of the project - there is an entire long shelf crammed with boxes of circular slide trays, plus several photo albums. It's only been in the past few years that he's really opened up and told stories about his family to the rest of us. Mom, of course, knew most of them as a child, but he's always been a bit secretive with the rest of us, especially the "younger ones" (like me) - sorry, no "my grandfather was a secret spy for the CIA" stories! :). And don't we all like to pretend our family members will live forever? Anyhow, to get this back on track, I understand Rick's position. Our computer guru at work, Gary, is constantly and consistently overworked (and underpaid). Through it all, he's a sweetheart (though I wish he'd give up smoking.) Everyone out there is ow/up really (work 7 days a week, 8 hour days, for months on end - I'm a lucky temp, so I don't have to). The reactions I get from people, especially Gary, when I say thank you are astounding. A couple of times I've seriously been concerned they were going into shock! And where I work isn't the only place where I've seen that reaction. So, a general "thank you," goes out at this moment to everyone on the list - answerer and asker alike - because it wouldn't be here were you not involved.
