Ron,
Where are you reading into her response ANYTHING to indicate such a re-write
was either promised or in progress? She is simply stating the fact that the
current structure will not accept such a change. Any re-write has to make
economic sense for the company. And there needs to be
As a rule, it is always good to save a copy of installation files of any

Most likely because people are mixing up FamilySearch with *new* FamilySearch.
They are currently two different web sites. The original FamilySearch is still

ME was much more problematic if it was installed as an upgrade on a computer
with Windows 95 or 98 already on it. Factory installs, or ones done where the
drive was re-formatted and ME installed clean did much better.
