One thing about computers in my family is that we keep them. I think my family keeps old computers with the idea that they were important at one time. Well, I inherited this desire to keep all things computers and pack them.
Michaela is the opposite. She really likes to simplify her life, and old computers should be sent away (dump, recycle, donated, whatever).
So, this last week I gave in and sent two computers away. So, we are back down to ummm 4 computers for the both of us. If only I could find a way to cluster them all together then I could tell Michaela " I can't do family history because you know it needs so much power."

Reunion
What software do most people use for genealogy? If you are a member to the LDS church, the answer would probably be PAF. That is unless you are a Mac user, then PAF doesn't even register unless y0u are still on classic.
So, what about a mixed computer family like ours? Well, we have been using PAF, but with Michaela taking a Family History class she started testing other programs, and she came up with using Reunion on the Mac. She really likes it, and it seems to do everything that she needs for the class. Of course, me being cheap, asked if it saved enough time to offset the $100 for the program.
Well, she decided to go ahead and get the program. So, I even decided after much deliberation to move my family history there.

Weeds
So, from about the middle of January until now both Michaela and I have been busy. I am wrapping up my project, which releases Feb 21, while Michaela's semester is in full swing. Yep, we have no time. So, what did we do for Valentine's Day??
Well, we weeded our front yard together. Yep, we had weeds growing everywhere and with the time we set aside for each other it was decided that we should go a weeding. Anyway, it looks better and I sprayed some herbicides to keep them away after. Well, I should of checked the weather forecast, because that night a storm blew though and poured on my freshly sprayed area. Oh well, I will see how well it sticks before putting any more down.
So, not a good date??? Well, Michaela thinks we bonded better by pulling weeds together. Okay, I still took her to dinner, so it wasn't all attacking noxious weeds.
