Sounds like me when they rearrange the grocery store, which they do constantly. Funny, we are using Windows 8 which they also rearranged everything too. :-( -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Thunderbird v12 Centrino Core2 Duo T7400 2.16 GHz - 4GB - Windows 8 |

That's also true in the grocery store :-) The above is my slightly warped attempt at humor, for which I probably should - but won't - apologize. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |
