Thanks for the info Jim. I don't know the #'s but I might be able to track
them with that info anyway. I'm not very good with files and folders and that
sort of stuff but I'm doing okay with what I do know most of the time. When I
need help I usually get if from places like this. Newsgroups are extremely
helpfull most of the time.
I drive a car and I'm not a machanic so I guess it's alright to use a
computer even if all I know how to do is type huh? LOL Just kidding; a know a
little more then that, I think.
Thanks for all of the info and help you've given me and I'm glad you are so
educated in this field. I would love to have more knowledge about the
workings of the computer but feel a little less intimadated by it now. I
bought my first computer 17 years ago and have, hopefully, progressed a
little since then. At least I'm not as afraid of the 'delete' key as I use to
be.
You have a great one too and stay warm. I'm cold enough with our
temperatures in the 60's so I don't even want to think of being in those
temperatures.
