I went to check the e-mail on the web, and the password isn't working. :)
So no getting it all in shape until I have a working password.... (I'm
sleeping with the admin, though, so I figure I can get it taken care of
before too much longer....)

1) Genealogy software, maybe. About all I have to do is beat on the
cousin who gave us a database about at least one DOB being totally wrong,
maybe more stuff, besides. But I have to find the disk first.
2) Can't download pictures from the camera without having that software
installed, and as soon as I find the disk, there I am. Really. I think
it's somewhere on my desk.... (Hey, the Palm software was, and I *had* to
have that up and running yesterday to extract some info as to whether or
not an appointment had been made for yesterday afternoon, so's I could be
ready for it if it had been scheduled for then.)
Gotta go play with Sam for awhile while his siblings are napping. :)
