Hi; Two or three heads are often better than one. I have been accumulating suggestions and I am on my sons waiting list. That way if I trash my wife's lap top its not totally my fault. I know raw courage isn't it.

I also tell him, "My mouse is getting fat and lazy and it needs to be exercised." If I didn't have someone knowledgeable to help me, I'd have to spend big bucks. Before you start flaming me, I'm a yl and I'm not ashamed to ask for help when I'm in water over my head. That goes for ham radio, too. I don't erect my own antennas.

Not possible for some people I know but that's how I handle that and my computers run a lot better and last a lot longer for it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Fiorello" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, June 16, 2006 11:24 AM Subject: off topic computer issues > Thanks everyone for the computer info.
