Thanks, everyone!!!
I am especially ROFL at the exchange between Wha Happened and Finally Some Pride...
As you all can tell, hard drive hasn't crashed yet - will keep checking in as long as I can, but I really want to use the computer's last gasp to get at least one of my books finished.
Wha Happened, I am sorely tempted, but the printer is shot, too - dunno whether we'll still be able to use the monitor on the next system; it's getting harder to find USB port adaptors - if I said that correctly - this system's so old, it only has ONE USB port - and THAT was an add-on...
Anyway, thanks for all your well-wishes and assurances
I LOVE the noblelodge's take on it - it isn't the flying - it's the CRASHING!!! !!! !!!
Flipper, FSP, Wha Happened, AK_Jeff - wow, what would I do without you guys!!
Rebel8 - Thanks, I feel much safer, now...
Still Thinking - WHAT??? Raiding MY THREAD??? Aw, go on, I know you wanna! And share it with n.Drew - I notice she's begun to use it, too...
So many wonderful people, I can't name them all - factfinder - hey, man! Good news! [read your PM]
Damn, I never thought THIS thread would make it to 2 pages...
Anyway, LUVS YA ALL!!
