October 29, 2009: I just discovered that my email accounts have been hijacked by a virus...

If anyone gets any emails from me, please delete them. Do not open them. (They will not have been sent by me.)

If my email is hijacked, then possibly my forum accounts and my blog may be also... I am not sure oif this but to be safe, I thought I'd notify everyone of this possibility. If you visit my site, make sure you are running a good antivirus program that is uptodate. I am currently working with blogspot, etc. etc. on this.

pssst... Norton sucks a bag of lemons.

I was looking for resources for the wagons ho thread and tried this link. Sadly, they have taken it down and only have 4 of all those on the list available any more...

Ahhh, but thanks to the miracle of modern technology and the packrat mentality, *you, too* may still enjoy these wonderful pages!!! wink.gif

Print it out or save them to a cd... we never know how long this stuff may last online!

Try this one, and click on "Oct 02, 2003" when you get there. Then go to the top and click on "site map" (tiny little words/button). Then scroll down to "The Old Timer Page - How We Used To Do It... (19 pages)".

Don't you just love the Wayback Machine?!

If there is an old site you want, put a search in for it. It can take 6 months for it to show up, but I've had great success using it.
The Ant and the Grasshopper is the best children's story ever; and if you're reading this forum you know why.
