Sorry about that guys. My internet provider supplied me with a new modem by FedEx, and it was nothing but a headache (it was supposed to be faster, which was the whole point of a new one)-- I couldn’t finish and send a post anywhere for a couple of days, because it was going in and out; I was emailing from my phone, but I couldn’t get the SDMB to display right. I finally decided you’d manage without me somehow, and let it go. Had to drive to the office and exchange the modem, and then still spend an hour chatting with tech serve on my phone. It’s all better now. I hope there are no hard feelings. ---
