Would make me crazy .. I support a friend who has all
these toys, and it makes me *nuts* trying to do anything
on her system .. .. but she always says .. 'oh, go ahead
and close all that stuff', so it's just a matter of 10
minutes of shutting stuff down. I've given up trying to
reform her, but I don't have to live with it :-)

I can never figure out how people who compute this way can
find anything .. but then, they are the ones always losing
stuff, aren't they? lol! It does sound like a quick trip
to the rubber room ..

Immediately, if not sooner ...

Yeah .. but it does seem like something to put high on the
priority list. You have my total sympathy. As I said in a
previous mail, my lot are either geeks or don't dare
change anything on my system; but in any case our system
is .. well, mature, I guess you'd call it, so only my
brother is a nomad, and he's setting his system up now so
will soon be able to commit whatever vandalism he likes
without criticism. He's a good sharer, though. Still, if
he starts sending out IncrediMail, we'll choke him! lol!
Actually, one of the people I correspond with recently
"upgraded" to IncrediMail, but when I complained, she
managed to find the 'plain text' switch immediately. If
only I could get the M$ users trained ...
Good luck with it!
