Barry W.,  I hadn't heard of Speed Download - very interesting - .  I emailed my
son-in-law,  who is online most of the time with his business on a cable
connection over in the Seattle area .  It took him 2 minutes and he's mailing
the cd over - couldn't ask for better service.  I did try the "right click"
"save as link" and that was indicating about an hour so I emailed my s-i-l and
he accommodated me - not that the hour was too much but why not use his fast
connection and he appreciates having the latest and fastest in the family.  Now
if he just had a fast printer..... Dan
