Hi, (Continued)

I can't find "a4064665" in my archives.  However, I think what
happened was this: I have three hd's in this system.  One is a backup drive
(E:), one has XP on it (C:) and the third has W7 (G:).  D: and F: are
CD-ROM and DVD drives.  In the gradual switchover from XP to W7, which uses
a different email client, I probably posted the same message from XP and
W7, as I'm still in the process of making the switch -- PITA that it is.

The scientists are going to get their answer soon enough, so I can wait,
our opinions notwithstanding.  (-:
 
PQ>RN> I do recall an article about it from early December of last year.
PQ>RN> Would you like me to reprint it?

Okay, but I'm still not sure whether V'ger is tasteing, approaching or has left. (-:[

I was a voracious reader back then and read anything that looked
interesting, from murder mysteries, WWII stuff and from Sci-Fi to
Elementary Physics, which, believe it or not, was easier for me to
understand than Algebra 101.
