Of course, no apologies necessary... I blame no one except Yahoo. I don't know why I've always hated the site... (I know, hated is such a strong word) Maybe all the ads constantly in one's face, maybe the generic atmosphere, the design, look, feel - Still, I've used it a lot as a search engine in the past, and found many answers to my questions. Now I use Google almost exclusively for info on anything.You're right about having to deal with MicroSoft at some point, I'm afraid. It's so "everywhere," isn't it? All-knowing, all-seeing, Bill Gates, yuk.
Why don't we look at the site Kiddo suggests in the previous post? And we all can keep trying to find a site that's dependable, user-friendly, and cheap. (!?!) It'll at least be a good research project, and we depressives can say we at least did SOMETHING today (to the admonishing spouses)...
Speaking of which, Kelly, where are you? (Krazy Kat).
Best to you, Jane, and other would-be, hopeful chatters,Wendy
