I can soooo relate to computer problems. Mine has been
acting up for the last 2 weeks. Now I can only get a
few moments at a time on my email before it freezes.
Hopefully I get this one sent <g>.

Thanks again, I really appreciate the favour. I'm
looking forward to these tapes, and so is my boss. She
wants to lend them to a blind friend who can't seem to
find them at the lending library of the CNIB (Canadian
National Insitute for the Blind). Of course, I'll have
to have a couple dozend listens before I part with
them <vbg>!
