Once again Mother Nature decided to pay me a visit...thank goodness not at
the boat this time. Tuesday night our phone line was struck and it fried
the modems in both our computers. I was on the verge of deciding to ditch
my Gateway anyway since it didn't have enough RAM to go DSL and was very
limited in upgrade capability, so I now have a new computer. Can't get my
individual account to poll for messages, though, so I'm going to have to see
what's going on with that after I do a few things to make this machine
mine...like delete all the crapola (games, MS Works, etc) and begin to
install my stuff. Love my new optic mouse...

Dont feel to bad we have been struck twice onboard redcloud.

Thank god its a steel boat! Only thing we ever lost was a TV and thats
because we has a antenna temp attached to the forward stay. I miss my
neighbors that are crusing, there mast was 3 ft higher than ours;o)
Now we are the tallest mast in the marina ;O(

Good luck with the new puter.
