Potioncat:
Yes, that's always a difficult path, speaking in appropriately simple
terms so to communicate without insulting. I run into it with my own
foreign language (medical speak) But you're right, keyboard and mouse
are about the only computer terms I understand. Although I can't
always find them, because they are wireless and sometimes walk away.

Potioncat:
Uh oh, now you're sounding like Professor Snape. At least I would know
where to find a bezoar.

It worked! It worked! The potion turned the most perfect shade of
magenta! 

BTW, you were right about the history setting ;-)

Thank you so much! 

And I just realized that I have spell check as I write the post. Is
that Firefox, or a setting on the computer? I don't have it on the
other one when I write posts.
