<DIV>Heckler,</DIV>
<DIV>A few months ago, I would have agreed with you, but I've since =
solved the
problem! I rebooted my 'puter, added Mozilla Firfox and Benign, =
(thanks to
RicB!). And, I upgraded my Express. Benign "washes" all of my stuff, =
sometimes
too efficiently, I might add. Still haven't figured out how to get =
some
attachments through. (working on it!) I really like Firefox. It saves =
steps
and has it's own firewall. I'm not about to give up on MS, just yet. =
Just
because Bill Gates has extreme amounts of money, y'all tend to give =
him a bad
rap. I've met the man. You'd like him. He gives back tons of dollars =
to the
arts and humanity. Yes, he's successful, but that's no reason to =
malign him
every chance you get. (Jealous are we?)<G> </DIV>
<DIV>When I first wanted to get into computers, the only game in, =
(our), town
was Apple. The attitude that the Apple people had, reallllly turned me =
off!
Then Bill came up with something that was workable. Rather than malign =
MS,
every chance you get, how about taking some (Misplaced =
priorities,
IMO.)</DIV>
