In addition to museums you've checked there appears to be a Museum of Applied Arts and the Budapest Technological University that hold the works that are being sought. <br /><br />Maybe sling an e-mail to the solicitor that's handling inquiries? <br /><br />I have to say, the post-Holocaust art cases are entirely fascinating to me. I always feel blessed that my family got out early and nothing of value to take.

That means there should be no trouble using Dropbox so long as you open the right operating system.

In spite of the fact she now own an iPad, a device she uses so infrequently that in three months of ownership she has only had to to charge it once, she still phones me and asks me to Google things for her. kristieinbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620113214111945592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-67576862851778582842013-02-23T13:58:56.733+00:002013-02-23T13:58:56.733+00:00I will call the local MS store today and ask them ...I will call the local MS store today and ask them but from the way I'm reading the description of Pro it uses "apps from the Windows store".

The wealth of information available there might be sufficient reward to entice your husband into mastering its use.

When he was in his 60s or so, we weaned him from an IBM Selectric to a computer and WordPerfect. It wasn't easy, but he did it. Sometime after the year 2000 or so, we pushed him in the direction of the internet and email. Progress. The next leap forward (perhaps 2005 or a little later) was Google. He is happy as a clam and has never looked back. He can now plumb the depths of Google with the best of 'em. I jumped onto the technology train a little earlier than he did, but when he was ready, he caught up. We old dogs absolutely can learn new tricks. Walk your husband thru Google. He will thank you for it, even if the early struggles are painful.<br /><br />Knitting content:<br />Someday (maybe) I'll finish the Vivian Hoxbro shadow knitting sweater. I'm so close... In the meantime, my heart reaches out to knitted lace triangle shawls made with the skinniest yarn I can currently persuade my hands and my spinning wheel to produce.BlueLoom (another Oberlinian)http://www.blueloomdesigns.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-26587528065149355202013-02-23T10:53:10.177+00:002013-02-23T10:53:10.177+00:00On the subject of titling your posts, I would have...On the subject of titling your posts, I would have thought that giving a title would have attracted more spammers as well as more readers - it seems to me that the irritators would likely have some way of trawling titles, looking for places to be a nuisance. I wonder if today's title will bear me out?!jeanfromcornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062674591619616456noreply@blogger.com
