Been there; done that, Alicia. Most people have no idea how hard a trucker's life really is; the programs that rain truckers make it look so glamorous and like you'll get rich.
I am glad you got him talked out of being an owner-operator; I just can't imagine it, especially these day. My prayers go with him as he again heads out tomorrow.

My ex drove truck over-the-road, which actually turned out to be a good thing for me, as he was so intrusive when around, but I know this isn't so for most couples where one must work away from home.

Currently I have to press the FN key in combination with a function key and another key to perform a task, and wonder how do I disable the fn key. For example, to bring up a links list the key stroke combination is insert plus f7; however, I have to press the fn key in combination with the typical insert plus f7 keys. This is extremely difficult to do and would like to be able to use the functions keys for functions keys rather than the toggle or duel use they are capable of. Does anyone have any idea how to disable the fn key to allow me to use the function keys a little easier? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. thank you all, Alicia _______________________________________________ ATI (Adaptive Technology Inc.)
