David,
Oh to be 51 again! I am wondering how many of us on the list are in
the 70s besides Marilyn and myself? Computers at our age make us
smarter, I think?( LOL)

Some days it's a real problem dragging my 51 year old body out of bed just
to find out I am elderly. Maybe I should consider retiring and turning this
domain over to a younger person. Not by a long shot for the foreseeable
future just in case anybody out there got any brilliant ideas after reading
that last sentence.

I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I'll probably screw that one up
too.

No I completely understand that. Me and my sister both use Windows 7,
but my elderly members of my family are using XP, simply because I
didn't want them to learn a whole new operating system as they are in
their 40's! They just want to turn on a computer, surf the web, turn off
again. That's all. So thought why not go for XP as it's something
they're used to. They have both a desktop and a netbook running XP Home
and they're happy with it.
