Hey REB....got 2 Lindt bunnies sitting on the table waiting for us. The

Sorry to hear about your Mum....but glad she is OK. Ron is doing
relatively well, other than looking like Methusalah!! He grew a beard
years ago. Can't remember if he had it in England.


Perhaps he *got* it in England? That's one product we still make to last. He
could come back to get it serviced, probably.


Poor Casey had some medical problems too. What I thought was a
cataract turned out to be glaucoma and he lost the sight in one eye. He is
on daily eye drops now and bitches every day when I put them
in. One good thing.....he can't see them coming so doesn't blink and
avoid them, lol. Just one eye, which the vet says is quite unusual.


So the ol' medical whatsit that I believe you can actually acquire legally
in Toronto (?) no good for cats? Or is that in the drops?

How's Rosie doing?? Or is that spelled "Rosey"??

Right first time. She's fine!

Back when I used to grow the you-know-what (and would again if I could,
here - if only so's the British Govt. could shove it up their...) she used
to jump up and chew the lower leaves. Thing is, she does it with other
houseplants too (e.g. Rose, Ficus). She only chews the drying, yellowing
leaves. So I don't know what she gets from that. Potassium?

Think he'd like another mouse? Not that I have any old socks anymore. But I
expect Canadian Customs need something to do?

Mmmmmm, love hot cross buns and wish they would make them at other
times of the year.

Cheers.....Casey's Mom.

My mum was in hospital in January (she's okay) and my sister and I
were visiting and shopping and stuff. At Sainsburys (you probably saw
several when you were here, likely from the inside too!) the Easter
Eggs were on sale. We got a small Lindt (world's best chocolate)
bunny each (200 kcal max.). At the checkouts were piles of packs of
Hot Cross Buns on offer (something like 2 for 1, you know? So it
wasn't like "have some Hot Cross Buns in January!" so much as "Have
twice as many Hot Cross Buns in January!").

Last year Easter was in March, which killed the whole thing stone
dead for me! But the first time I got sunburnt to were I peeled -
and I tan - was on Easter Sunday 1980, working on the roof of
Pershore General Market. And it was on the same job that I knackered
my back. So Easter Schmeaster!

I see Jesus looked like Max Von Sydow! I suppose Linda Blair was the
spit of Mary Magdalene. Shame Barbera Hershey doesn't live here
though.

Everyone well, I trust? How's Casey? Haven't heard about the chap in
a while.

Hey Figgs,

What I say - these days - is give up on free AV for 9x. Go for the
best deal on a quality paid option. For instance, NOD32. I got a 2
year license for 3 machines and they don't have to be at the same
location. So three users can get NOD32 for two years for not so
very much, particularly if split three ways. IIRC they do three
year deals
also. And v2.7 - that even runs on Win 95 still - remains
available. I daresay other companies have vaguely similar deals.

Of course, for those afraid they could die after only getting one
year's use out of it, it is a dilemma!

But it gets to the point where if there are no circumstances in
which
a user will consider paying for AV software, they might as well not
use any and I figure that time is just about reached with Win Me.

Hi HD......glad to see you found the spot. And also glad you have

munged your address. These folks should be able to advise you.
Personally, I would keep the version of Avast that you have and
let it
update the definitions. But I will see what the rest say.

I need a new free anti-virus program to work with my beloved
WinMe,
and Rising Anti-virus Free and Avast seem to be the only ones
around.
Avast stops support for WinMe at the end of this year, leaving
Rising
as my best bet. Anyone with experience with Rising Free? Good?
Bad?
