Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 thanks so much Julie! anything that tracks uses memory and resources too. I suggest everyone also get that toolbar off of their machines! if you have it you can go to add remove programs on your computer and get it out. if you need any help with that just email me at puterwitch and I will help you.
