Adding Up The Future

I've been busy creating a new piece of software that does some pretty simple things, but that tells me a lot about my future. It starts with my geneology file and takes lets you simply walk foreward or backwards, year by year showing how old people were/will be. For the past, it shows historical events, for the future likely events (like suzie graduates from high school). It color codes the boxes, so you can quickly see as people pass from one age group to another. Its already taught me a lot about my family history, calling into question the neat, tidy family stories of the past, illuminating the relationships, the groups. Time Line is almost done.. Let me know if you're interested in looking at it.
