Shoun, Oh you wise one - if we all had as much computer expertise as you do, we might at once know to ask the right questions, or we would know how to fix the problem ourselves. Two years ago I would not know an ethernet cable from a UBS ,nor would I know the names for them, Safari, mozilla and explorer were foreign languages to me. So, one asks about one's immediate problem in one's own language of the layman, and then the answer evolves, takes shape and we all benefit from the problem finally being solved. I used to see you on TV talking to this guy from one of the stations. What did I understand from your expertise there? Almost nothing, because I did not have the linguistic capability in that field. That is why I depend on David Pogue's books so much, here is a person knowing a great deal, but is able to translate it into the language of the lay person and with humor to boot. I am still lacking in computerise, but have never minded asking. I finally am making a systematic effort to find all apple sites (it is an effort- but my tenacity is paying off) . I have several friends whom I prodded into the apple environment ,( they are glad they did!) and they thought safari was a Travel Agency. And not long ago, I did not know that downloading did not necessarily mean installing!. So keep telling us more, in a language we can grasp. I just learned the word "volume" you mentioned, never thought of it other than in tangible form I could throw at someone when I got mad. Marta On Mar 31, 2004, at 13:03, Schoun Regan wrote:
