All of my "old" addresses just imported directly into my new address book! Presto! I didn't need to "save" anything, etc. Are you talking about something else I need to do here?

I can't find my password (just the key and the key check sum), so I guess I'll have to go there and pay the $3. I can live with that.

Yes, I think I know how to do that now.

Believe me, I'm trying to do just that. Everytime I even touch something over there, I flinch! It's a little like walking around in a mine field... Boom! No more computer -- again! :( JF>> And please be gentle. > We always are. Otherwise our moderators step in and remind us (gently) to > be nice to each other! ;-) I know that for a fact. That's why I like this group so much. Great moderators. I haven't needed any help in a long, long time, but the folks here have always been the most helpful helpers I've ever encountered in any help group. And please trust me on this one, I've needed an *awful* lot of "help" groups over the years! -- Joe Finocchiaro mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
