Thanks for the suggestions. I have searched the archives about this topic but I probably should have qualified my original question. I am looking for software that has the ability to print out plans (not sure because many of the past references were to programs that can do 3D designs... not sure if that also means they can be printed or only viewed on the computer). I am also not interested in a program that has me import photos of my home since the home is under construction and the yard is essentially a sandy mess. I would like to start from scratch where I have to draw in the home and yard from scale and go from there. From my limited research, I am wondering if I am looking for something that is more sophisticated than most programs sold to the home user. Hope this helps to clarify.

Hi vjeanes, glad you found my e-mail address and hope it works. Whether it was the site or my yahoo e-mail, there were several people I anticipated hearing from last sping/summer but never did. I didn't pursue it because I didn't know the reason. If GW or iVillage notified me of the changes to this site, I didn't get that either. Like you, I did not lose any information from plants available or my journal as there was nothing in there. I do plan to post some items soon. I may have to sacrifice some great roses because spraying is now out of the question. Long story. You wrote "Any of us who have ever had a web page know how easy it is to make a mistake that's hard to fix." I spent most of Monday morning fixing all the broken links on my geocities/yahoo website. Seems geocities dropped the original address and changed it to just my user name, making all links un-useable. Wonder if that would have happened if I upgraded to a web site that I paid to maintain. LOL. Garden Web has been a tremendously valuable tool for me and I hope it continues to be as user friendly as it once was. So much assistance and information on everything from Roses to tomatoes. Thanks for responding and attempting to straighten out the User Name condrum. Pat

Please recommend something more user friendly and basic, thanks." Linux, and especially for a new to Linux user, it's LinuxMint Oh yeah,,,, and the OS itself and all the included software is....oh yeah, Free............. Remember too, If you go with a Linux solution for an ACTUALLY EFFECTIVE solution, you'll for all practical purposes, never be bothered by "security" issues and "AV" costs and issues ever again http://www.pathfindersfarm.com Here is a link that might be useful: A REAL A/V &

That's a pretty broad question. Without knowing what you are trying to clean, it's hard to give specific answers. I would say that a water and vinegar solution and a stack of microfiber cloths purchased in bulk could be used to clean a great deal of things.
