I wanted to offer Bob my help, but I didn't have time on those particular days. I was reading but not posting. A beloved pet came very near to death ten days ago. A blood transfusion in the animal hospital saved her life. Then there were the early days of her convalescence at home. She seems to be on the mend now. Anyway, that's why I didn't get involved in what looked as if it would be a time-consuming effort. Many times frustrated newbies come here to TBUDL exhibiting what looks like a bad attitude. I had a bad attitude myself when I first showed up here! I'm glad a few people stuck with the task of trying to straighten me out!! As to Bob's claim to be a computer engineer--does that necessarily equate to computer programmer? Maybe he built hardware boxes and someone else set up his e-mail applications for him. Then, in his second post, he said he was home on disability. I have some disabilities of reasoning and memory and technical vocabulary my own self! I can relate to his needs. But I don't expect to see him back here, given that the only advice he received from fellow members of TBUDL was to read the Help File or to go back to his ISP for help. Well, I can't rescue everyone! :( I was lucky to find a vet able to save my long-time pet companion. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 3.63.05 (Beta) on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.62.14 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
