Yes. ;-) I didn't raise it. I was responding to the suggestion that there
isn't a problem. Someone said that the kerfuffle was for nothing, and that
was what I was responding to. But it wasn't Anthony. I have taken my wrists
as slapped.

Thanks. I am worrying about greater things at the moment - like that BIOS
that needs flashing. I haven't time to watch Channel 4 anyway. Happy Valley
being over, I need another fix. Am about to try The A Word, but haven't had
time.
But I hadn't thought of trying this. :-(( I am getting too bogged down and
obsessive. Well, one has to be a little OCD to enjoy communing with
computers. I will give it a try when I have time to do something for me.
