Ransom Love "Director of Strategic Relationships" from the Family and Church History Dept. came and talked to our computer class at BYU a few weeks back. He talked about the system they're putting together, which is supposed to solve just this problem. He said an exact roll out date hasn't been established, but that it would need to be done temple district by temple district. His guess was that the first roll outs would start in January. He said Utah would be last to get them since there are so many Temples in Utah that if they tried to bring Utah up all at once, there'd be too many people hitting the system all at once, and that with all the bugs not worked out it wouldn't be so great for them. -- Michael Moore ------------------------------- www.stuporglue.com _______________________________________________ Ldsoss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ldsoss.org/mailman/listinfo/ldsoss
