Not into housework! Got the flu!, but I feel so silly because I spent ages trying to answer a message and got thrown out twice! Thought in tiny addled brain, I will PM this nice lady because she will think that I am most rude otherwise!

Did that! got thrown out again, got into outbox and it had gone off OK, have now seen that it went through on the thread after all! Can't spell check anything too slow!

Think I will go back to bed! I feel such a fool!

Actually Tony as controversial as it may be, I would like Roots to remain free, there are enough companies out there making huge amounts of money out of us because we happen to be into family history, long live the few free ones there are!!!!

But then I guess we will have to put up with the slowness  :-\

I think its a great idea Tony! I get so frustrated sitting here looking at the same screen for five minutes that I've turned the pc off twice or gone onto different websites. If it was like this every day I wouldn't be on here virtually day as I am now, and a lot of "new" people would be put off coming on here. I'd be quite happy to pay a couple of quid a year to keep it running at a decent speed. It could be voluntary donations so no one has to pay if they dont want to. Its not even the cost of a drink is it......

I have been asleep on the keyboard since dinner time,just just opening an eye now and then to see if whatever has opened yet ;D ;D How about not spending more than 2 hours at one time on the computer,as a lot do.And not using rootschat when it isn't really necessary.I only when it is then i log off. There seems to be more users in the afternoon than there ever was.The best time on rootschat is after 12 midnight,I have the bags under my eyes to prove it ;D ;D

I answer quite a lot of requests, Celia, and I don't think that the requesters would be all that happy if I clocked off in the middle of a detailed search, etc. after 2 hours  ::)
