Thanks Larry.....I will keep this information and see how it goes. Spoke to
Bell re DSL this afternoon and they offered me 6 months at $25 for high
speed....then $45 thereafter. Now that I have the free news service, I can
access the 3 groups I follow, so I will take my time. Don't need binaries,
just text.
You got more snow than we did. And a neighbour's kid shovelled out our
driveway.....sweet thing!! Actually I have hired her due to Ron not being
able to do heavy stuff any more. Giggling to myself here.....I thought I
knew your name but it didn't click!! IP? Lol. I will drop you a line off
the groups.
Cheers....Heather (aka Figgs)
