Hello Jonathan and all: Mark. I just attempted to send a reply to this via your hotmail account. It comes back as undeliverable regardless of which mail I send it from.
Is it still operative? Attempted to send a tip or two using the item chooser. In short, the item chooser located your email link. I used vo + spacebar to find it and then vo + spacebar to activate the link. Mail opened with the proper address and then I wrote the email and sent it. That is where everything came to a screeching stop (grin). Let me know. On Jul 18, 2009, at 11:16 AM, Jonathan C.
