Hi Keith, The list is for technician related issues. Computer programs are directly related to part of our business. Mr Hecler was clearly outraged at Micro$oft. It is unfortunate that he allowed himself to express his distaste so strongly. If you search the archives you will find health tips mentioned. I rest my case. Please do not try subject the list to your own private censorship. You are at liberty to delete any post that annoys you from your own computer. I will not speak to this issue again except to make private replies to questions directed to me.
