Hey all. I'm sure you've seen on other list but the jfw lite website is closed because Debbie Scales the owner passed away this morning. She will be missed along with the site. It was one of my favorite websites and I do hope someone can reopen the site or create a website just like it.

Please forgive my confusion but it isn't closed from what I can tell. That is to say I can still access it just fine. Will it be closing down for good does anybody know?

Thanks. Dan.

It has been left up do to many requests, for a few days, but will be shut down shortly. (A note to this affect is on the home page.) :)

That is really sad, hadn't heard about this.

That is a great site. Hope someone else takes it over and continues to make it current.

Thanks.

Wow, that is sad! I am so sorry to hear the owner has passed away but do hope someone will be able to reopen it. Best wishes to her family.

OMG! That's awful! She provided a great service to people with the original mailing list and then the website.

Well i have used that site for about 3 years, and really it was a good site for programmes and help to use them.
So f th" things you would find there are available at wws.whitestick.co.uk. A different site, but worth looking up.
But yes, Debbi did a lot of things and was always ready to help. She will be greatly missed. John
