Since I seem to be full of information and advice today, I'll throw

some at you. Have you tried Mozilla firebird? It's free, it

works, has a great spam filter. Since I ditched IE and started using

this - no problems, no viruses, no spam - is FABU, not FUBAR. Hee!

 

I was able to inport my address book and inbox so I didn't lose

anything either.

 

Good luck. I hope your problems clear up soon!

I know .. and fun it is too. ;-p

Right .. he didn't invent it .. he just took the initiative to create

it. So he gets added to my list. ;-p

 

> Now, the language is somewhat fumbly, and unclear, but it *clearly*

> does not say " I created " or " I invented "

 

Right .. I reckon.

 

> The legislative initiatives that he took were:

>

> - High-Performance Computing Act of 1991

>

> - Funding for development and construction of a National Research Network

> Those were the said intiatives he was referring to.

> Yes, yes, very bad language choices AL! But I listened to President

> Bush say commiserate instead of commensurate the other day, so Al does

> NOT corner the market on bad word choices.

 

But .. Georgie Boy is from Taxus .. he has a gud excuse fer speaking all

wrong .. its hard to speak rite when you gotta mouthful'a marbles.

I'm a fair person .. I shall not forgit that. My danged Netscape 4.3

email system just died .. gives me Illegal Operation each time I open it

and this is from Netscape 7 .. which is not a fun thing so I'm gonna be

fair and have that computer dude come back tomorrow .. if he don't make

it right I'm gonna shoot the PC. ;-)
