Believe it or not your group (orig yahoo one, that is) was one of the first, if 
not THE first group I ever joined back in 2001 or maybe early 2002, but i just 
haven't been able to keep up so went either digest or vacation mode for many 
years, but suddenly a few months back I guess I was taken off vacation mode and 
started receiving mails again.  I remember Rose from those days, but don't know 
if she remembers me.  Seems like there was a Rose and Jerry at that time, cause 
I remember it being so funny that they each had their own pcs, sitting in the 
room together, doing their own thing on their own pcs, lol.   And of course I 
remember you ;-), but I'm not really familiar with many others.  I was a newbie 
to computers and asked question after question.  Even after these years I still 
pretty much feel like that newbie, lol..........just don't ask quite as many 
questions.  Back in those days the mail would be so heavy it was impossible to 
keep up and I would have to just go to the website and read answers to my 
questions cause my poor pc couldn't keep up.  I learned a ton of basic things 
from you guys in those days.  Only thing changed is I'm off dialup and on 
Comcast cable service, but still have the same ole pc with Windows Me on it.  I 
was actually amazed to see you still here with the group cause I wondered how 
you (poor man) could keep up with it all during all these years, lol.  But here 
you are, still faithful and probably exhausted all the time, lol.
hugs,
Sandy
