Subject: [LAN] Winzip and 2% download of 1851 census
Date: Mon, 1 Nov 1999 14:44:46 -0800


Researching BRADBURYs in Manchester area and need access to the 1851
2%census. I have been using my computer for about eight months. I have
advanced beyond the stage of just being able to turn it on and off.
However, I found each new experience requires slow mythical steps. I have
found bits and pieces on how to open condensed files but I must be missing a
step or two. Is there someone out there that could walk me through it. I
have the free Winzip download and know where the 2% census site is. I need
to understand where these two items go on my computer and how to get them to
link. My son tries to explain it to me by phone, but he starts off by
saying, Dad I don't work with little computers and they don't work the same.
I guess old Dads and Sons don't either.
