Golly I'm glad to know your human!! I too was puzzled to find out how much
I stumble from time to time, but Hey! this is fun!! How long has it been
since you've been able to learn so much in so short a time.
The main thing is to just keep going and help others who have the same
problem you have. I know I'm one of them, and I suspect anyone else pushing
their latter years is also having the same problem.
I think it just so great to be dragged kicking and screaming into new areas
every day.
Keep the ole dabber up, we're really all with you.
Best Regards,
Hal

Ahh, Dimitris, sometimes I think I am getting too old for all this :-(
I messed up on this one, hitting the send button too soon and not thinking
straight. Oh well, I stumble and learn ..
Thanks again for your patience,
Herman.
