Upcoming attractions to The Puzzle Club Family Activity Center include interactive help from a parenting specialist, a live chat room with parenting experts and more games. To capture this new online audience, Lutheran Hour Ministries is reaching out in new ways on the Internet to bring the Christian faith to unchurched people. The overall Web site was honored with the 1998 Silver Angel Award and the 1999 Honorable Mention Award from The Communicator Awards committee. The software runs a series of tests on the hardware by examining the computer's real time clock, CMOS, BIOS and leap-year readiness, which are the components of the hardware responsible for how the computer reads dates. The software lists any problems it identifies and provides the tools necessary to correct the majority of problems.
Online help is also available for assistance.
