wishing the originator well[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#21)

I hope you do get your work back in shape. A comment to the replier who decided to badmouth the originator. I've worked for 20+ years on computers, tear them apart, build them, etc. My wife doesn't do that, and never wants to. BUT she wants to use a computer. Your tone implies that the originator of this thread, and my wife, and others like her, need to become computer guru's to operate this stuff. That is unfortunate; they should be able to pick up these machines and use them easily. YES, they do need to use some basics, but it would be neat if software existed, that these users could EASILY install, that would help them in this regard. You pick up a telephone; you dial 10 digits; and without reading a manual, you've accessed one of the most complex (and EASY TO USE) computer systems in the world. anyway, good luck... Nick
