Re: JOE is having a birthday.
Happy birthday, Joe.
[A bit late as I had to take care of a Trojan virus attack of my computer last week. Cleaned up the whole computer [lost everything - but should be able to get some of them back from old e-mails] Now I know never to download anything that 'looks good and secure'. The good side is that I finally got a wireless connection - portable and much faster than the dial-up I used to have. Also bought (and installed) a Norton Virus protection program. Didn't realize the virus protection program came with the computer had long expired. ]
The experience made me appreciate even more what you've done for all of us.
