Hope this encourages you and your friends. :-) Thank you to all who replied to my concerns about new users and this List. I really do appreciate all that you have said, and have taken on board many of the suggestions to pass on to new users who I can point towards this list. Also thanks for the information about the MFAQ page - I've bookmarked this as I'm sure it'll come in very handy. It's really encouraging to read that you are all more than willing to help total newbies as many lists with techie people on are not always so welcoming sadly. This doesn't appear to be a problem here so I shall start spreading the word amongst the new users I meet and see if they will pop a toe in TBUDL water as it were! Thanks again everyone :-) -- Cheers, Anne ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
