On Friday, whilst trying to persuade my test PC to raid, I damaged the bootmgr file. As Saturday was a grandsons day, no repairs were attempted until Sunday. To my surprise, Windows 7 came up smelling of roses yet again! I ran the boot disc to see what it could find, it found a missing or damaged bootmgr and offered to fix it. I said yes and it just did it. I continue to be impressed by this OS.
I have been continuing with my Excel family tree and it is now beginning to show how much better a tree can be when carefully designed. With Excel, I can cut and paste large blocks of data very simply and insert whole lines or columns at will. This is beginning to look very good indeed. The major problem is the lack of automation that a gedcom based genealogy system would give, but the major advantage is the three dimensional linking and beautiful graphics.
