Duncan, I draw a complete blank on Internet Explorer. Is it something that AOL has? Or under programs on Windows 95? What button? I guess I need to tell you that although most of my aptitude test scores have always been in the 99th percentile, my mother kept me in my playpen too much at that exact moment in infancy when I needed to explore tactile objects and crawl around on the floor to develop the part of my brain which controls spacial relationships and mechanical intelligence. I score in the 15th percentile in these areas, and I am not kidding--I am not trying to act like a helpless girly girl or anything, I am just hopeless. It is not anything I can learn. I cannot figure out how to turn on the heat and defrost functions in our car. We have remotes for the tv, surround sound and vcr, and after several years I still have to walk across the room to push the buttons on the actual boxes because I cannot decipher what tiny little things to push, and on which remote. It would be unwise to let me anywhere near a tool box or a live wire or engine of any kind, and there have been some public bathroom stall latches I have not been able to figure out how to open, so I panic and crawl out under the door. It took me almost a month to learn how to play tapes on the Walkman. So really Duncan, I am a lost cause. But I appreciate your trying. Christine
