Dougie Darlin'....you've heard of the SPCA, right? Well, what you just wrote in an effort to help me is much appreciated, however...in my opinion you are not contributing to the SPCNM. ;)
1. I have an iMac
2. I am a tech dummie
3. My 'puter hates me
4. I hate my 'puter
5. I'd rather put up with a few minutes of annoyance each day than try to understand why I have this problem and make an attempt to fix it. That won't make sense to the techies, I know...but I get frustrated much too easily and when that happens, I get mean!
To each his own, right?
Personally, I think it's the frequency plus the time (peak hours) I use this machine and the fact that my ISP is just a Mom and Pop operation and not capable of handling the traffic. But what do I know?
Anyway, I thank you for attempting to assist me. ;)
