I believe it had to be coincidental. I have not heard of Moccasin
Mary...but we did have a "Two Gun Harry from Tucumcari"!

Hi,
Ages ago I posted this to a newsgroup asking how you pronounce Tucumcari,
but I Googled first for the answer and came up empty; after posting, the
pronouncation suddenly appeared on your site.
Was this just a coincidence, or did you read about Moccasin Mary from
Tucumcari, lol?
Happy New Year
Nick.

Off-topic, but since you ask ...
Not because it's a laptop, particularly, but because Flash is an evil,
insidious, parasitical, processor-hogging piece of crap with more bugs
and security exploits than a rather buggy and insecure thing ... but
that doesn't stop most people.
.. but mostly because if I don't have Flash player installed then most
animated web advertisements fail to display (they usually fall back to
a non-animated version of the same advert) and so don't slow my PC
down. This laptop is quite a fast laptop, but some of my more modest
systems can be slowed to a crawl by having just a couple of browser
windows with animated Flash adverts showing in the margins.
Cheers,
Daniel.

True enough. As an compromise, you can use something like PrefBar
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/prefbar/
That allows you to toggle Flash on/off with the click of a button. I
leave my Flash off until I stumble onto something that I *want* to
see.

I have a Firefox plug in callred "no script", which disables them unless I
really want to see them, which is rarely.

I agree entirely; version 10 brought my usually quite competent (albeit
obsolescent) dual 2.3-GHz G5 Mac to a crawl. Fortunately I was able to
reinstall v9, which still works in most of the sites I visit.

I find that Noscript interferes where it's not wanted so I'm giving
PrefBar a try. So far so good. I have a family tree on the web that
runs in a Java applet. No way could I get it to run with NoScript
installed, even though I have unblocked and whitelisted the site --
which happens to be my entire iDisk. The applet does run with
PrefBar active. Score ONE for the PrefBar.

Where do you have your family tree?
I've never had problems with family trees on the Web, but I have had problems
with Posterous (a sort of blogging-lite site).

I don't get it. Is that a Scottish joke? :)
BTW, I was reading about Turner's Syndrome, a girl having only one
good X chromosome and one missing or damaged one, and one study said
"Occurring in 1 in 2000[3] � 1 in 5000 phenotypic females,[4] ", and
that just seems incredibly high. So my friend suggested that maybe
that is the rate in Scotland, where the researcher lives.
You are my resident Scotland expert, so do you know anything about
this? :)

Besides his family tree below, don't scripts do something important?
I used to get it often that a script was running endlessly and did I
want to stop it, but since some update in Firefox, don't know when,
that's happened only once.
I always thought stopping a script left something undone.
Oh yeah, it was at www.remichel.com when I clicked on Catalog 2010 -
Digital Edition, below the first red line on the left.
It went to 67% and stopped. Twice. Each time with the box about
stopping the script. When I stopped the script, I got no catalog.
This was with XP SP3 Home on a computer with a fair amount of software
and 1 gig memory
I went to the basement where there is XP Pro sp3 with little added
software, 2.4Mhz and 3 gig RAM and something about that made it
capable of loading the catalog. ??
Any ideas?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turner%27s_syndrome#History
The syndrome is named after Henry Hubert Turner, an endocrinologist
from Illinois, who described it in 1938.[30] In Europe, it is often
called Ullrich-Turner syndrome or even Bonnevie-Ullrich-Turner
syndrome to acknowledge that earlier cases had also been described
by European doctors. The first published report of a female with a
45,X karyotype was in 1959 by Dr. Charles Ford and colleagues in
Harwell, Oxfordshire and Guy's Hospital in London.[31] It was found
in a 14-year-old girl with signs of Turner syndrome.
That article starts with:
Turner syndrome ... encompasses several conditions...
The various conditions presumably have different degrees of severity and
different impacts on the person with a condition. It might be possible
that many people have the syndrome without major difficulty.

Hey, this is good. I should be able to get more mileage out of this
than you can. Maybe I'll meet someone who I can talk into opening a
Balti-Baltimore restaurant
"A Balti (Urdu: ?????) is a British-style type of curry cooked and
served up in a type of wok made of cast iron. It is served in many
restaurants in the United Kingdom. The precise origins of the Balti
style of cooking are uncertain; some believe it to have been invented
in Birmingham, while others believe it originated in the Pakistani
region of Baltistan in Kashmir from where it was brought by South
Asian immigrants to Britain."

I use a Java program called GenealogyJ to create my family tree. One
of the things it provides is a Java applet for presenting gedcom
data on a web site.
I have a personal web site that is hosted on my iDisk (which is an
Apple thing). For security reasons I don't reveal the URL of the
page with the geneological data except in response to personal
request.
