Thanks everyone! The flatulence has passed (no pun intended).

Shortly after I posted about this problem, my computer up and died.
Crash commandeered Kidzilla's birthay gift (new computer and hard
disc), and built a new system for me. We owe Kidzilla a new computer.

I have only Internet Explorer so far, so if anyone needs to contact me,
please do it through my address.

I'll get caught up when I have Agent again.

Let's hope that Rita won't be the enormous disaster that Katrina was.
But I'm not holding my breath. :-(
