Ed - no problem. The SpamFighter program was a bit fiddly to install - it even crashed one or two programs, including Outlook Express - but settled down after a couple of hours. Other than that it is grand, works really well now in terms of system running and anti-spam. Good luck against the spam.
Flor - each to their own. In my view, there are several advantages to Firefox (easy-access RSS feeds, download manager ((IE7 still hasn't done these properly)), a number of security issues), but then I'm lucky in that I have no need for a screen reader so don't have to worry about its compatibility in this regard.
Tony - thanks mate! Actually tried to send my first post through a few weeks ago, re: Tony Sweeney's audiobook MP3 player query, but it messed up in the end so sent it to him directly. Anyhow, quite right re: 11th November - don't worry about the 18th, in fact when I thought about it the week before works out better as the weekend of the 18th is the Belfast Beer Festival and I can't have a big meal conflicting with that! Will send more details through to you and the rest of the crowd soon. Hope you're keeping well, and looking forward to seeing you soon.
Best
