I envy you. Many 'older' adults (well, my parent have just turned 50) stick
to conventions more than the average techie. If they don't have theat MSN
Messenger with the Microsoft logo, they could soon go into panic mode. But
my parents use Firefox and Thunderbird now... and OS Web-based software I
installed on my main domain. One step at a time...
Best wishes,
Roy
