well You do not have a mac dumbs so have no right to comment. More and More of us do, and the fact that this trashed listserv can not handle it is beyond disgusting.There is no excuse for not being able to handle any modern text E mails. I always love to hear what Buddy is talking about, and since you obviously do not care because you are shoved p micros haft’s backside just stay out of it.
No wonder we can’t get our rights protected as blind people or as amateur operators with backward bullshit like that.
