Re: Names of programs

[Jay Maechtlen <techwriter -at- covad -dot- net>]

Fantastic!
(that is: "wonderful", not "unbelievable")

An elderly gent at our church still uses his computer a bit. He does 
some bible studies, and has compiled and burned some CDs of goodies. He 
stopped doing his own investments about 10 years ago.
He's slowing down a bit, and his eyes aren't as good as they were.

But then, he's 102.

cheers
Jay
