Hello fellow listers:

Some time back, I posted to the list asking for assistance with a
problem; specifically, that my keyboard controls for cutting, copying
and pasting appeared not to be working.  Well, come to find out, the
operations were being carried out, but I wasn't receiving correct
information from my screen-reading program.  Now, not to blame JAWS...I
got hit with a very vitious computer virus last october, and despite
paying a very knowledgeable techy $500 to fix things, the computer has
never been "right" since.  It certainly wasn't worth throwing more money
at the old box, so I just acquired a new muscle machine.

All this to say that I very much appreciate all those who wrote to me
off list with suggestions, ideas, etc., and I do apologize for not
having acknowledged your posts.  Consider this to be my attempt at
making amends as I do consider it to be very bad form to solicit advice
and then not acknowledge those who step forward to provide it.

John (who is loving his new computer)
