Well, all I wanted is a program that I could work with by answering messages
offline. After Y2K I couldn't get Blue Wave to work even trying to use the fix.
This Point is good and I'll use it as long as I can.

 MK> Heh, heh.  That is quite normal.  Obviously you taught yourself well.

Yeah, another thing that is normal for a man!! :P~~~~~~~~~

I'm going to my last course on WORD tonight. When I enrolled I told the lady
that I know all the basics about WORD and needed to learn more technical stuff,
but she told me I had to take this class first. I've "learned" to
copy/cut/paste, change font style, size and color, and how to set up a letter.
Oh and how to print what I typed. DUH!!! It has been a waste of my time and
money. Fortunately, this is a state run training program so I only had to pay
$10 because I'm NOT working at the moment. It would have been $20 if I was
working. I know that doesn't sound like a lot of money since the same classes
would cost a lot more in a regular school, but when you aren't working $10 can
mean a few meals. Now I'm going to have to pay more money to take the class I
should have been given the first time. :-(


 SC>> If I couldn't figure something out on my own, I had other friends

 MK> Always a good way too.  Also that method makes ALL this more community

Exactly. :-)
