Hi Barry,

I know, I just thought of Jaws-ism, but it does it all the time doesn't it.
Then when some poor unsuspecting Jaws-ist like Damon uses Narrator, and
can't click links with his little space bar, I can sit there and say "told
you so", <Grin>.

And yes, I know to my cost that the ladies don't like it <Big Smile>.

All the best

There's that pesky sharky adding to the OS instead of harnessing what's
actually there again.

Ah the system tray........

Steve, love the term Jaws-ism!

I dont' think I'll use it on the girlfriend though when she goes on a bout
something that's unnecessary.

Did you know the lady's don't like that kind of thing????
