Ray this is exactly how I learned the computer, mostly on my own but I did go to the list in the beginning to get started. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Foret Jr." <rforetjr@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 15, 2005 2:18 AM Subject: Re: avg installation and operation It's just a matter of being mostly self taught and being willing to play, a little. IF you don't poke around a little, (and make a mistake every now and again) most likely, you'll never make progress. Essentially, play and learn at the same time. Try stuff. Experiment. Have fun. Learn to control it; and, stop letting it control you. Remember, it's just a dumb box that, you hope, does what you tell it to do. It aint gonna blow up if you press the wrong button...oops, shouldn't have press that one and now the counter's telling me I only have ten seconds; NOT!!! Like I said, have fun. Play. consult the help when you get stuck. Make that dumb box obey you. Always remember this. It aint nothin' but a dumb stupid box and it aint gonna hurt ya. IF you really mess up, well, there's the Windows XP unattended installation kit we've talked so much about. Heck, if worse comes to worse, well, you can rely on it if you have to. It saved me at least $60.00 already.

I just got lucky and did it by chance, not because I had any idea I knew what I was doing. Nevertheless, that first part of the information from AVG on their footer message means the world to me right now, after how crazy I drove a couple of very savvy computer specialists today. <smile> Can you tell me something? How do you and so many on this list know so much about everything when it comes to computers and our dear JAWS? think I'll have to live 3 lifetimes to catch up with all of you... <smile> Pleasant week end! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Foret Jr." <rforetjr@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 14, 2005 9:39 PM Subject: Re: avg installation and operation > Oops, you need to do this: > > 1.
