Re: Re: Sibrob photos, Files and the like (long)

Shauna, yes I am out here. My computer freezes if I click on a URL while in
Outlook Express so I have been deleting all the emails that have a URL to
the files that you have posted. I am reading but not understanding the
thread about the procedures. Since I just finished a 10 hour driving trip
from San Diego, I am assuming things will make more sense in the morning.
