Thanks for replying Sandi. I appreciate the response. I will be gone for a
week and return on Tuesday 22nd February 2005. I am helping my mom babysit my two nieces who are three years old and almost one year old -- Samantha and Julia. My sister and brother-in-law who is Canadian are going to a friend's wedding in Canada. Have a great Tuesday. smile "Sandi - Microsoft MVP" wrote in message ... : No hard feelings Dan (sorry for the delay in responding - I've been taking a : sabatical whilst my parents visit). : : -- : Hyperlinks are used to ensure advice remains current : Visit the Internet Explorer Online Community: : http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...y/default.mspx : _______________________________________ : Sandi - Microsoft MVP since 1999 (IE/OE) : http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/ : : : "Dan" wrote in message : ... : Okay, sorry Gary. : : "Gary S.

Old-School television shows that have actors and actresses meeting again for
