Gene,

I wish! When I was 3, computers were people and that was their job title!<g>

Actually, I learned that just recently from the people at Interland that sell me the server space for this bulletin board and for some of the other features of my CyberGuide.

Do you remember a while back when it seemed like it was taking FOREVER for a message to post? They checked, double checked and even triple checked to make sure it wasn't a problem in one of their servers. They showed me how to use ping and tracert to help identify the problem areas. As it turned out it seems there were problems in some of the computers along the way and that seems to have been fixed for the last month or so now.

Now, if I could just get these chains undone...
