Randall, maybe you didnt really take the time to read my original message before you just logged on and started to type insults. In my original message i was the first to admit that i was fully aware of the age and limitations of my old 190 68k machine. i logged on to this site for help which harri provided. harri you are right, the machine is not obsolete. its an old machine i can donate to a young kid on my block who would otherwise have no computer at all. just wanted to make it as nice as i could before i did that. thanks harri for understanding that not everyone needs to be on the newest greatest thing, some people are actually happy to have anything at all. and at the same time he could learn some basic chops on a mac. including email. thanks again harri and i am not even going to take the time to reply to randall. his horse is apparently way too high for me to reach. perhaps he will read this response and to quote him "get a clue thanks again, michae |
