Art My neighbor named a new stray Elsie because she looked just like the cow. Big white with large brown and black spots. Just when Elsie started to respond to the name, we got close enough to observe that Elsie was a boy. So now we have to get him used to Elmer. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ That is a "hoot"! MLB Tawny got his name in a similar manner. He was an orange kitten, and originally I named "her" Tanya Leona (for tawny lion). That was fine until one day when I saw him washing his private parts, and then he became Tawny. Joy |

Re my reading problem. I don't have Windows., My son installed Linux years ago. We've tried magnification but it really doesn't help a lot. A really strong contrast might help -- everything seems so pale. Hi MLB, I too use Linux of the Mint verity but I'm not as elderly only being 81. A trick I found for increasing font size is to hold the Control Key down and roll the scroll wheel on the mouse forward. If you haven't tried that already it might help. I'm using Thunderbird to read the News Group posts which might make some difference if you are using some other program. If you answer this let me what mail reader you are reading' Li'l Al |
