I thought that message was pretty innocuous, but since it was deleted, I apologise for hurting/offending anyone re: that.

Sis, I owe you a big cup of coffee and a story. :)

Helen, I'd really like to hear that story. I'd put an alternative email addy here, but I am currently the victim of a trojan horse virus, and the email is screwed, and sends the virus out to anyone I email, so I am not using it right now. Fortunately my brother called to let me know about it right away, and hadn't sent out any more mail that day.

I have since installed zonealarm2, and an anti-spyware program called ad-aware v.4. The funky thing about this virus, is that it causes an invalid page fault if I try to access any web page where any antivirus software is and can be downloaded. Nice. I am waiting for bro to download his antivirus program to idrive.com so I can download it from there.

Sis, your story is underway and should be posted soon IF the weather doesn't take us offline AGAIN.
