All fixed now, tnx AOL.

Just ordered a hot
new computer, and will start it off with 8.0, then download the 9.0
upgrade.

How hot?

Jim:

Well, it's paid for, if that's what you mean! OOOOHHH, you mean
performance-wise.

2.66 GHz P4, 1 GB RAM, top-of-the-line Intel DDR 400 MHz motherboard,
DVDRW/CDROM drive and another CDROM drive, 1.44 MB floppy drive,
6 USB ports, 2 cereal ports (one for Wheeties, one for Grape Nuts), and
a USR V.92 EXTERNAL USB modem. O/S will be Windoze XP. Oh,
40 GB Western Digital hard drive. It's being put together by a local
computer firm called Kehtron Computer, which has a good rep in this area
and offers the advantage of being local, so if anything goes wrong, I can
just bring it back with a bottle of ketchup and mustard and say, "Luncheon
is served, boys!"

I'm one of the first 1,000 original AOL users, and just can't
seem to break the habit.

Exactly what AOL counts on. Can't blame 'em, it's sound marketing.

It certainly seems to have worked on me!
