Thanks for the advice Eric. first, I gave you some bad info. Always ran Netscape but forgot that i have Explorer 5.0 with my new mac. I given up trying to download anything. Never get it right. Everyone says just follow the prompts etc. I get to the "end" and don't know what to do next. Like downloading Real Player (which I think I already had anyway and trying to launch it). Anyway, I'll stick to word processing. Like i said, my biggest beef/problem is where is the memory. I'm running word 98, which I bought with the computer since it didn't come with any software. Curious about having 200-300 megs free. My "largest unsused block" (is that what you mean?) is usually about 65 megs. I don't know anyway to make it higher since I don't run more than one or two programs at a time. Also curious, the computer came with 69 megs (or something like that). Didn't seem like much to me so i bought more. Doubled it, I think. Can I add still more? I remember reaching the limit on my LC. Anyway, appreciate the advice. I seem to do a lot of groping without it. jim Users can subscribe to the List by sending an email to <muglo-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> with 'subscribe' in the Subject field Users can unsubscribe from the List by sending an email to <muglo-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field Users must send messages or replies to <muglo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> All messages are archived so that you can view them at any time by going to <//www.freelists.org/archives/muglo> Problems concerning use of the FreeList should be sent to <paulthomas@xxxxxxx> Don't forget to periodically check our web site at: http://muglo.on.ca/
