It is hard to post such a silly question as this one among the other posts, which generally are far above my level when it comes to computer understanding.</span></font></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Verdana"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></font></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px
