O.K., truly does sound easy to do. And I agree that one learns a lot from
reading of other people problems and the resolution. I have a very long
PTechTalk folder among my OE folders containing some excellent tutorials.
Yes, I have come a long way in the learning process since I purchased my
first PC in Nov. of 1998. The first day it locked up on me (Windows 98) and
a friend came out to try to help me. She asked if I had a CD. I did not
even know what she was talking about. All I could think of was Certificate
of Deposit!! But I have found these ornery contraptions to be absolutely
fascinating and I have an insatiable desire to learn--and I have certainly
come to the right place for that!.
