Just to let all of you know - I am sneaky 8-) I know you were - I saw you
You made me look because the counter went up - but no new page!

I know, This has be a slight thorn for me. I certainly don't know about
EVERY computer EVER made. This is something that will take time. But facts
don't change and eventually everything will get ironed out.

That is what the Support area is about. If you know how to do HTML,
you can actually enter the URL yourself. I do not magically make the
new pages appear yet (security BS - you know) so I can check these things
out.
I think from the CoCo entry now available, that I may have made the size
and amount of data *a leetle too small*. That's what the testing is all
about. Show me where I went wrong and how I can fix it.

Ya I been kinda worried about that too. I really don't want to do it and
I'm PRETTY sure Bill doesn't (correct me if I'm wrong Bill 8-) I don't
like the idea that - just anybody - could change it. They could just add
a new page anyway 8-) and then email from those *offended* 8-) could be
used to straighten it out.
