Frank, Thanks for the response.I live in Goulburn, NSW Australia.My Grandson was born in Austin Texas in 2013, my Son-in-Law brought the family to Melbourne later that year and emigrated here.
I have a Pal in California, a Publisher, and relatives there as well. I read the forum as the mail comes in, most of the information is beyond me.I became interested in encryption after reading a web article around a year ago. Ian My Public Key 0xD6EE9490 for PGP Encryption can found at https://pgp.mit.edu/ On 08/03/15 21:58, FederalHill wrote: > Hello Mr Ian ; > > I do not participate in this forum very much.
