Hi Marcy,

This list has been a huge help.  I knoe I've asked a lot of questions, and I 
sso appreciate everyone's help.  I look forward to the day when I can give back 
to other newbies.
Cheers,
Donna

I'm with you here, Donna!  If I didn't have the help and guidance I  
have had, I wouldn't be nearly where I am in terms of progress.  And  
I'd have hated to see a grown woman cry, especially if it's me!  Marcy

I have to say that's really hard to picture.  You do seem to have the  
Mac in your bones.  I can't imagine what it would be like to sort all  
this out without you and others on this list.  I really do think I  
would have given up a week or so ago. *smile*
Take care,
Donna
