the only way I can get in is via this lot of numbers - 207.103.108.99, neither mudcat.org or buddy work for me.

I wish my very own help desk would get back from holidays, I dunno anything. I'm on a very new iMac waiting for the CD containing all the files from my deceased Compaq laptop to be installed & have no idea if any of the above nasties apply to my system. Maybe I could send this very long thread to a Mac using techo friend ...
