Well like I said, I don't know very much about computers, I'm one f these
guys who have a little knowledge and are very dangerous. grin. But, if a
support guy is going to bee on line to help folks, the basics of a system
should be made clear to the support people. It's not the person's fault on
line with you or on the phone with you, but the information they are given
to work with. someone has to say, here is what it is. Maybe it's not that
easy. I don't know since I am not a programmer and don't claim to be, but it
sure is hard to do the,, " right thing, whatever that is. grin.
