Remember, I had the same question before ,when Lee had this same thing in all our keychains, complete with the gorilla icon. That' s the reason I knew from whence it came. Bill, you should send icons with your mail, too. So we knew it was one of us. I stlll don't know how this actually works, but I accepted this one to be from one of our group, too. -Since we are on the subject, can I delete all those duplicates in my keychain of which I have dozens- that is one problem with this computer. It keeps duplicating itself. Everytime I turn around, it leaves an alias, a duplicate or whatever. The pictures are the worst. I have them everywhere and then don't know which the originals are. And I assume, no cleaning tool takes care of those items. I suppose they all have to be handerased ?? Marta On Jun 2, 2004, at 7:52, Bill Rising wrote:
