Carol earlier:
> No need to be embarrassed! I had similar problems and finally
succeeded in installing the thing after also installing Yahoo! widget
engine, but that caused problems with my preferred browser, Netscape
7.2. (I've tried IE, Firefox, and Netscape 8.0-8.3 and still prefer
Netscape 7.2. I also like licorice. And Snape.

Mary:
> Thanks, Carol! It's nice to know that I am not alone. The Yahoo
widget engine died when I tried to install it last fall. I tried a
couple of times more then gave up. I had gotten used to the widgets on
the Mac laptop and missed having them on my Windows machines. Despite
reformatting some computers last summer, I would NOT assume any of my
Windows machines are "normal"!

> Snape is interesting and I could imagine enjoying his classroom at
N.E.W.T. level, even if I want to bash him for his treatment of
non-favorite students. Rather like a teacher I had, I find him
fascinating and challenging. Lucius is the one that I have a problem
with. Maybe it's the blond hair. I am so glad that Jason Isaacs
talked them out of the severe haircut and muggle suit style of wizard!

Carol again:
Black licorice, especially the jelly beans! I haven't used Word
Perfect since I wrote my dissertion using WordPerfect 5.1. Presumably,
it's been improved since then. I have to use Word in my editing work,
unfortunately, because it's what "everyone" uses to compose
manuscripts. But I don't like Macs or laptops, either. It's all what
you're used to, I guess. (But the change-tracking "improvement" in MS
Word really is a change for the worse and not just my perspective. It
causes needless frustration for clients trying to print their edited
manuscripts with those annoying bubbles on the side.)
I was thinking of Book!Snape, one of the most fascinating literary
characters I've ever encountered, though I like Movie!Snape, too (even
if he uncanonically bops people on the head with composition books). I
agree that Movie!Lucius looks like he belongs to the WW, much more so
than Muggleized characters like, say, Lupin (who is wearing a Muggle
dress shirt and tie in OoP unless my eyes deceive me!)
Oh, yes, the good old days when we weren't slaves to our keyboards and
monitors and students actually learned spelling and cursive writing.
Carol, who could go on and on about these topics but won't
