Of course, you can get the USRs and Motorolas off the shelf now, and there's

assistant: Hi Bill,
Oh.  We did discuss laptops one day.
Do you still like The Master Genealogist program?  I've been following the
Internet messages about various family history programs and it is mentioned
quite often.  Does it have a Windows demo yet?
People have some frustrations with Family Tree Maker.  The latest is a
fellow with 64 MB RAM trying to run Win 3.1.  That much RAM would cost
about $3000 or more in Canada.  Win 3.1 can only use 16 MB RAM and he would
have been better off with a new hard drive if he is the one who turned off
the automatic backup feature in FTM.
He is also trying to use a second hard drive for backup.  He didn't mention
the size of his hard drives but the program is running slow with 4600 names
and a lot of scanned pictures.  The newer style hard drives (420 MB up) are
much faster and there is a new version of Disk Manager software just
released.
Features have been added to programs like FTM faster than programmers have
been able to cope with the variety of ways people want to use software.
Long time genealogists want all the gen. features and long time users of
data bases want all the search features of programs costing many times the
amount of FTM.  Still others expect all the picture manipulation and
multimedia support of advanced presentation programs.

Polish dealer of ZyXel modems has 6.15 since beginning of June - so it
exists. We have a proverb in Polish that goes "A shoemaker walks without
