Well NN I don't know how " high speed " my new puter will be given that I'm still operating with a phone modem hook up, but I have found that things are going faster. Our old puter was getting " locked up " on a regular basis and it was definitly time for a change. Thanks for all of the suggestions above. Being a serriously " low tech dude ", I have always kept track of the most recent post on a piece of paper just as a back up. I can hear laughing in the Peanut Gallery but what the heck, it works for me :-) Now my next challege, figuring out how to use my new digital camera, once that arrives in a few days. Wish me luck, I'll need all I can get :-)
