Thanks Chuck for the warning. I have enough
trouble trying to cope with this temperamental
comp which always springs surprises on me and
I certainly wouldn't need this one.
I received today an e-mail message of mine which I sent
to Triadtechtalk on the 6/12 regarding a little backup prog.
I wonder was it sitting on my ISP server all this time or did
you people also get it today? Isn't it amazing, where was it
all this time?
