Now this is really weird! I have just installed Thunderbird and I must
say I had no problems at all, but now, both these messages have come
with vertical coloured lines; and the text is right at the top, instead
of down a bit. I will have to check my settings again as I have fiddled
a bit with some of them. dee

Let me remind anyone lurking that, indeed, we will
happily discuss
anything you wish to about our main topic of Colloidal Silver!
All that
is required is for you to pose a question to the gathered
Mike, thank you, thank you, thank you for your wonderful
discourse on Linux. It is both encouraging and discouraging. I've
been both
interested in and afraid of Linux for years. I try, but like so many
other
computer users, I am definitely not a techie.
Just yesterday I enlisted
the help of my isp to install Thunderbird. We ran into a snag that
even he
couldn't deal with. I emailed the error messages to him and I am still
waiting to hear from him. He told me it would take him awhile to get
back
to me, which is okay with me. I am sure we'll get there. I am patient.
I have dozens and dozens and dozens of security updates and Windows XP
hot fixes lodged in my control panel and there are more waiting to be
installed.
I realize that many of the existing installations may be outdated but it
is beyond me to clean them out. One of the latest updates has to do with
time zone changes: "8/2008 cumulative time zone updates for windows
operating systems". Many updates have pages and pages of instructions
and
references to pages and pages more of reading and instructions.
Who on
earth has the time or the expertise to do this?
You are instructed to "learn
the situations in which you should download and run the time zone data
update tool". Huh?
I think there are probably millions of us who would
jump at the chance to go with Linux if only we had the ghost of a
chance of
understanding it enough to get by with it. I'd love it. I am going to
print out your message and start a Linux folder.
Thanks again Mike. Faith
