I've read all of the comments and, could see good points in each one.
Just for the record..I use WIN XP, like so many I suspect and, my puter is personally designed and built~
I have the top of the line MB installed with Pentium 4, at 1.7 gig. The harddrive is Winchester 40 gig and I have RAMBUS installed at 512 mega.
I have all sorts of programs to look into the registry and to manage same.
I mean to tell you that this is one CLEAN machine. LOL, maybe I'm spoiled but, I expect it to "pop" when I excute a command.
Grrrr, when I type a reply and, hit the "submit" button and, it just Sits there..Then, lose everything..Well, that doesn't happen anymore as I do all of that on "notepad" now.
Mind you, I understand that this is a "canned" software and, as such...It works because, to me, it brings all of us together under the auspice of A/S.
Was just starting to get my goat when I knew my connections was "Fantastic".
