Synching both my machines could be useful (providing they don't both sink, of course). My concern though had been that if for any reason I couldn't access an account and the plug was pulled, everything would be deleted and I'd be sunk. John's clarified that one. I still don't think Dropbox or any similar cloud computing would be an answer for me. > BTW thanks for your kind thoughts. 8>< for brevity only YW :)) > I'm quite at peace > with where and what I am.

After what you've been through, I can understand your outlook. My husband's been through the mill a bit too. So's my son who has been prodded and poked all his life to such an extent because of his disabilities, he gets unco-operative now when the hospital or doctor wants to do tests or checks. As you say, it's seeing the children suffering. It makes you wonder how life can be so cruel to innocent little 'uns and cause so much grief to their families and friends. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
