Hi Phil,
Thanks for the email. I had no idea that some keyboards came with a mute key.
Thank goodness mine doesn't. My advice is that if you're keyboard has a mute
key, label it in a way that you know what the key is. I'm glad you're wife
solved the problem.> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED];
