        Bill it it just took you 1- 2 mins to read this whole message
        from top to bottom.   It took me 8-10 with my machine talking.
        and it is straight text, Can you guest how long it takes to
        read symbols and charters that are not ASCII in macro languages.
... (Its a BLIND thing) I don't expect a sighted people to understand.
... Remember,  At one time,  we were   -   all newbes,       agreed?
