Howdy! August,

Back a Year and a Half ago after I read and answered a message
From You, To Me in the other Windows Echo I forgot about Your
message in "THIS" Echo. back then.

I just wanted to say "Thank You" for the information about my wanting
to learn about how to get a Chromebook type emulator on XP to play
with CHROME OS.

One ROUNDTUIT completed in 1 1/2 Years.  (finally)

Thanks Again for the help.
Which proves that I'm not too far gone to be helped.

73 (Best Regards) de (From) Ed W9ODR         dit               dit.
