Me neither! Great little app.....one of my faves.

Definitely a must have (I assume you mean Irfanview?)....fast and

<snip>
A few more, particular favorites of mine:
MailWasher...great for keeping the inbox free from spam or other unwanted
email.
eCleaner...a great little app for cleaning up all those little forwarding
arrows when you forward mail.
Kerio Personal Firewall....free for personal use, and solid as a rock on my
system, unlike several others that I tried.
X-Setup from Xteq Systems....for the power tweakers, everything you could
possibly want in one app.
YahooPOPs...allows me to download my YahooMail into my pop email client.
Discovered it shortly after YahooMail started charging for their pop3
service.

Typo. Rememer typo. I'm looking for what the typo was supposed
to be, not words that are synonyms of what the typo was supposed
to be. IOW, if I mistyped "dog" to "god", we'd be looking for
"dog", here, not "monolithic deity".

That would explain "vie"; and many seem to adhere to that style of
miscommunication. It's my belief that if one is going to write,
one might as well write well. It really takes very little more
time and effort, if one listened at all in school -- even through,
say, junior high, which most of us probably completed. There is
nothing in this medium to represent us but our written expression.

Agreed, with a caveat. A History professor of my acquaintance has a
motor neuron disorder which leads to all sorts of interesting typos. I
myself have a mild case of CP, which is also responsible for many
inversions and additions. "Porives" for proves would be very easy for
my fingers, believe you me. 8^)

I love baseball. My TV is behind me when I'm at my computer,
which is more of the time than when I'm facing the TV. I have a
2-by-3-inch mirror velcroed to the top right corner of my monitor,
to act as a rear-view mirror for TV. Had that for years, and am
very adept at reading backwards. But the hardest thing to get
used to - and I *still* have to think about it, actually - was/is
hearing the crack of the bat, and glancing up to see the better
running from home to third.
Basketball? Football? Hockey? No problem -- for they are The
Symmetric Games. :)
