That's interesting. Thanks. I'll try it. After Microsofts new CEO proved that people would buy Windows 10 even though it actively collects whatever information it wants from their computers, it seems like every company in Silicon Valley is doing the same. AVG, the antivirus I've used for years, even "announced" that it would be collecting personal information on its subscribers. While I have no information I necessarily want to keep secret; I firmly believe in an individuals personal rights which include the right to privacy. Gerry
