I knew there was a reason I liked you, LOL! Two out of three isn't
bad. Are you using the old version of Eudora (v7) or a new version
(after it went to open software)?

Oh, ghawd... OO is such a total load of BS. I am not a software geek
and can't program anything (including the timers on my lights)... so
open software is not something that interests me even slightly. I
have MS Office and MS Word on one computer and OO with it's shitty
Word wannabe on the other - can you tell by now which one I like
better? I like MS Word and that's what I want.
