-=PCTechTalk=- Re: internet access sign in question and outlook express question

HI Gman,

I just did what you told me to do and will see what happens.  Whenever you 
have time to type that up, it would be great, no rush though.  I was ok with 
earthlink stuff until this "total access" thing they started that has the 
toolbar and wants me to do updates and all, it shows my speed down at the 
bottom of my screen and my ip address which it did not used to do right 
after connecting.
