==== NEW: Live Chat Support =======================

 

Wholly Genes Software is proud to announce the latest

extension of its quality customer service: Live Chat Support.

The main portal for technical support is still the support

sections of our Wholly Genes Community Forum at

http://www.WhollyGenes.com/forums.htm

but sometimes you may have a quick question or one that just

can't wait for a return message. Our support technicians are

standing by to chat with you in real time! It's the best of

both worlds: immediate and knowledgeable support without the

expense of a phone call.

 

The Wholly Genes web site, community forum, and web store

include a new icon that will often say "Need Help? Click to

chat with a LIVE support technician." When no technicians

are available, the icon says, "Need help? Technicians are

not available now but click to leave a message." The new

chat system uses your browser and does not require any

software to be installed on your computer.

 

Technicians are generally available during regular business

hours, Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm Eastern time. However,

you might even find support available at odd hours, on

weekends, or when the office is otherwise closed (e.g., for

inclement weather).

 

 

==== Office Closed Tomorrow, February 13th ============

 

Speaking of inclement weather.....the Wholly Genes office

will be closed tomorrow, 13 February 2006, because almost two

feet of snow fell on us last night. It is sure to take a

while for this community to dig our way out of it.

 

 

==== TMG Workshops ============================

hands-on instruction on the use of The Master Genealogist.

==== Online Data Entry Tutorial =====================

 

Experienced TMG user, Terry Reigel, supports a popular web

site called "Terry's TMG Tips." Every TMG user should make

use of its long list of informative articles and tutorials,

including "Basic Concepts," "Flags - what are they?,"

"Sources - some source concepts in TMG," "Importing from

another program," and many more.

 

Now Terry has released a new article, "Data Entry - a

Tutorial" which gives a straightforward description of the

screens and fields involved in the data-entry process. It's

a great article and all but the most experienced users may

learn something from it.
