Had to get by here to say hello, and to thank you for all the kind comments. It's a pleasure to "meet" you. I have you added to my alerts, so I'll be back to visit again.

Just curious.  Is there anything that backs up the folders in your emailbox?  How about backing up your address book?  Eegads, I don't want to lose anything!  And btw, thanks for this entry.
