Tonks:
I got a coupon and one for a friend who really didn't need it because 
she has cable. But I lost mine and she gave me her's and it is expired. 
I think you can still get them, but they expire within 90 days of the 
time you apply. I hope I can still get a free one. I am happy to hear 
that we might be able to get a few more stations. But it is not the 
same as cable. It only lets those of us with rabbit ears to still use 
our old TV's after the switchover.

By the way, as to cutting and pasting with IE. You copy with Control C 
and paste with Control V. But my IE6 goes all wacky when I type 
anything into the address bar so I have to do it the sneeky way and 
make it a search and find it that way. Also I have not cleared my 
cookies in some time so I can just get most places I want from the drop 
down box.

Oh, great... now I am looking for the spell check, like at YA. I wrote 
to Yahoo and said why isn't there one like someone said there was on 
the Google toolbar and they told me I can use the one in the e-mail.. 
like I didn't know that..
