Thanks for letting me know about Jean.
At least Paul knows Jean is logging in to His BBS.

 PQ>> Ahmm... the "Great Race" is on this weekend, Holger.

 HG> I do however expect a new weekly listing today, .......

I am not a fan of Automobile Racing, but I hope You and Paul like watching
the races, and the Drivers all drive across the Finish Line.

I run XP and Vista and gonna stay with them after reading comments on
askwoody.com about Microsoft changing Win7 updates to be like WinTen does,
"Get 'Em All In One Big File", No Option to choose from those that are
proven to be Safe.

I recently learned their MSRT program isn't offered for my XP box any more.
Vista is as low as MS offers that utility.

I was thinking that MS would at least still offer that Malicious Software
Removal Tool for the XP box but my experience the other day taught me
that they don't care to protect what they sell.

And I'm too cheap to buy a pc with a 'Newer' OS that MS wants to Control
from their HQ.

When I got the Commodore 64 back in 1984, I was wanting to learn what makes
them work.   I ain't done it yet, but I'm still at it.

I hope You can Tame the savage beast.
