Hi Laura, I know exactly what you are talking about with the temp files. I've explored those before, just to see what's there, so I know exactly what you mean about the sub-directories and the files being called a name with letters and numbers. It would make sense that they were there, but I just hadn't checked when it happened to me (I guess I didn't think the file was important enough to bother <grin>(. Next time it happens, I'll check, and I'm sure I'll find it, but thanks for confirming that you've seen them when it's happened to you.
As to our posts being similar, Roselle's always told me I reminded her of you <smile>. I subscribed to this list after you had left, but she told me how you had been another teenager who had been on the list and posted answers to people's questions.
