Just turn up the 'plonk' button, Thom. Clears it right up.



I think Tom watches the news group on television. He doesn't have
Outlook
Express. He doesn't have any kinda news reader software I don't think. It's
just like an x-box what he's got. Or something like that he hooks up to his
TV.
It comes with a keyboard so he can type things in. I don't think his MSMTV

box
has a plonk button. Or a block button. Or any kinda filters.
Ya gotta remember something about Tom. He's really really old. His
generation's
the one that still can't figure out how to program a VCR. Or set the clock. I


bet
his VCR's time clock's flashing right now and has been since the last time

his
electricity went out....
But, don't get me wrong. I give the old guy credit for even being able to


get
on the news groups. That's more than 99% of the people his age can do. At
least
he's kept up with progress. Well sorta..... He coulda got a better education.


lol
