TG,
Your assumptions are substantially correct. But, when I take the
link back to My Netscape, I get either a maintenance page, or nothing
at all. This has happened before. There is an easy fix, but I don't
remember it, and I'm beginning to suspect that Netscape has fallen
far behind... sort of like listservs. I wonder if using a list serv
dates us and inhibits the youngsters from joining in, because the
expect to find us on Utube. Has our "internet community" become a
"gated" community because we are dated?
Okay Ralph, you need a video cam so we can all enjoy the visuals.

I've been trying google all day. Work avoidance. There's going to
be hell to pay for that.
