Hi, John!
Thanks for the words of reassurance. It's only lately while not having a
computer whiz handy to do installations and all that I've gotten desperate
enough to try it myself. I have fiddled and all and actually accomplished
some things. I was beginning to get a bit proud of myself. Then, when
this came up, it put me right back into that place that told me I would
kill my computer if I tried that again. So, Bill Gates can go take a
flying leap at something, and I will proceed onward and upward. If nobody
on this list ever hears from me again, it will mean that it didn't work.
Thanks!
Marilyn
