If I hit <control> <shift> <~> in Word, it gives me the n with the ~. When I try this in the Yahoo e-mail program, I get nada, niente, nichts. It just doesn't work - maybe it's one of those plain-text vs rich-text things. I hope someone can help me apologize to Edgardo - I feel terrible and even though I took Spanish in first-year university, I've forgotten most of it and what I do remember, I get mixed up with Italian. If anyone needs a nuevo ano, it's not Edgardo - it's someone who doesn't get the njc e-mails, so I could name him if I wanted to (nyah-nyah) but for now, you probably know who I mean (the one who recently used some strong and not-very-nice language towards a certain beekeeper and whose e-mail name sounds vaguely popish.)
