Hi Mark. A novice question here if you don't mind, what do you mean by a first run of windows, Darran ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Threadgold" <m.j.threadgold@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2009 8:08 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: News Desktop | Ibrahim, | | It's alright being disgusted, but they didn't need to give me anything off | at all, did they?
