Never mind. I built a nice solution in Excel that creates the LaTeX code for me.

The following code gives me a nice timeline, but can you think of a way to streamline this? Maybe with a command somehow and passing an array for the nodes? I'm not sure if that is even possible.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{snakes}

\begin{document}

\begin ...

Never mind. Google to the rescue again. I just needed to add this line of code:
\usetikzlibrary{snakes}

Thanks! That is great!

Here is a simple timeline.
\[
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0) -- (2,0);
\foreach \x/\xtext in {0/0/\ , 1/1/10, 2/2/20}
\draw (\x cm,3pt) -- (\x cm,-3pt) node[below=3pt] {\x} node[above=6pt] {\xtext};
\end{tikzpicture}
\]


But when I try to add a snaked line, I get ...

I've looked through the PSTricks and tried some stuff with nodes, but I never got anything that looked good and it definitely took too long. I have a bunch of different timelines so I need a ...

Avoid characters like "_" in your file paths. This is reserved for subscript in math mode. I'm not sure if this will solve your problem.
DING! DING! We have a winner.

I'm confused why this doesn't cause problems ...

I can't comprehend your problem. Your code works fine for me. Add a command in the very first line of your code and post the list of used files from the LOG file here.
\listfiles
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}

\begin{document}
\psset{unit=1mm}
\pscircle(0,0){10}
\end ...

I installed the pdftricks package which claims "Support for pstricks in pdftex". Then I tried to "LaTeX => PDF", but I still get errors.

Is it b/c of "This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.4"
