This is the second computer I've owned. Both are more than 15 years old. They will not accept new software. I'm lucky I can still use the email program I've got. I'm sorry about the appearance. It does not look that way to me. But I don't doubt you a bit because with my first older than 15 year old computer I had a problem where the text would not wrap even to my eyes. I had to type to the end and bring the cursor back or the type would just keep going. That doesn't happen with this computer, at least not to my eyes. I don't know what to do about it, other than apologize and try to keep my messages short - a promise I obviously did not keep this time, although if I wanted to I could always make it worse. Thanks for telling me about the appearance. Funny, it's odd, but Ophelia in a post just before yours said it looks ok to her. Well, at least I'm not crashing every thread on the board. Thanks again.
