I think we've sort of beaten this thread into the ground now, haven't we? Otherwise I'm going to look for a way to filter it out. I don't use PayPal, never have used PayPal and don't have any plans to use PayPal in the future. Plus, I'm really sorry the original poster insists on using an ancient computer with an outmoded OS that won't run a modern browser. Everything that can be said on this topic has been said!
