    LITTLE SISTER I assume under the new GoComic rules that I’m supposed to order everything printed in upper case. I would also appreciate a cup of DTWFNC please.

    Even an old fart like me ought to get some respect. I couldn’t sign in last night to do my second helping of the toon and the witty comments. This morning it took aout 6 tries to login. I was going to change my user name and passcode to “LEW” but was afraid one of the brilliant people here might decode my sneakiness.

    I was wanting to say this to SRmom yesterday but if you see this today. I didn’t pay a $500 for MS Office professional software. I went on line for MS Office they have student rates. For student’s they give a great rate. You also need a fast hard drive my son tells me. With my lap top acceptable. You can set it up and they go through your college email for confirmation. As a student I only paid $89 plus shipping. I have all features needed for future courses.

    Kab – My hubby’s in charge of buying our computer software. We have found that buying through Academic Superstore (first with our homeschooling legal card, and now with a college ID) that we can get great rates on software. I’m sure that my hubby didn’t have to pay $500 or he would have mentioned it. Psuedo – I do use MS Access, so Open Office won’t work for me. My geek son is already using Open Office on his, so I’m aware of it. Since my class was on MS Office 2007, I had to have that particular version to do my assignments, plus I figured if I was going to learn and remember it, I needed to start using that for all my various files. I’ve been in computers since punchcards, so I store a lot of information that way. PowerPoint was the only MS Office software that I hadn’t created a file in before the class started, but I’d been using the 2002 version up until that time.

    Good morning, Wolfie! I can see for people who are trying to catch up on the comments, inserting the replies immediately after the original comment would be helpful. But for those of us who are continually refreshing to read the new ones, it will make it harder to find the new comments to read. Unless, of course, we use our “tried and true” method.

We’re (includes Kab & Sojo) under a severe t-storm watch until 5pm. I hope Sojo didn’t get wet while he was out running errands, as it looked like a heavy rain moved through his area earlier today.

    Likely some of both. And I agree about the commas. Silly thing to disable. Also: I noted that multiple paragraph returns get reduced to one. Also: any number of _s (in paired sets) give italics, while *s give bold—a change from earlier formatting.
