Marta,

Glad to hear from you Marta, you are such an inspiration to those of  
us that know you, if I reach your age I will have long forgotten how  
to use a computer, let alone be able to learn as you do.

As far as spam, I have kept my account with Aye.net (Win.net now) and  
they offer a filtering system through Postini, which is utterly  
fantastic, almost nothing gets through, so it doesn't even reach me.   
I have wanted to keep them just for this feature alone even though I  
use Insight and could use them and save the charges from Aye.net. it  
just isn't worth it to me to put up with the junk.

Hope you have a wonderful year, may your health improve and your  
"bugs" be confined to the machine.

John R.
