C. still go to the National Archives.  I found things there that were not found at Ancestry.com...

Silverado hoping to keep it a long time.  However, we have had one problem after another since we purchased this vehicle less than a year ago.  Two days after purchasing it, the power steering rack went out and the truck had to be towed to the shop.  They replaced the rack and the power steering pump at that time.  Later the power steering pump had to be replaced again.  The seat upholstry has had to be replaced because it would not stay connected correctly and the stitching came apart.  The fender well liners had to be worked on about 4 times before that problem was corrected.  The driver's side mirror came loose and had to be replaced.  A spring underneath had to be replaced.  It currently has an unidentified noise that they have worked on twice already. I'm not sure I have remembered everything, but I do believe we got a lemon!!!!!!...

Also, software I had purchased previously will not work with Vista.  Now I must purchase more software....

The speaker phone is only average.  The sound volume is somewhat low.  If you have any trouble hearing, this speaker phone won't help you otherwise it's fine.  The phone also has blue tooth capabilities and other features I haven't even looked into yet.  Overall, I give the phone a very good rating....
