Paul,

I stand (sit) corrected, by You.

I also use my index/pointer finger for Right Clicks.

In SLMRs Editor, SLME, trying to use a Mouse to do something doesn't
work, because I'm using a DOS program when I Enter or Reply To a
message.

Because I wasn't using the Mouse, I forgot what part of my Left hand was
used when I Right Clicked on the Mouse, and I just typed in what
Ed's Head "Thought" I did.  Thanks for setting me straight!

LEFT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Mouse I use on the XP box is a Ball Mouse, I don't use a Mouse Pad
for it, I just roll it wherever I have it on my Wooden Computer Desk.
And I sit in a Swivel Chair with the Keyboard on my lap.

My Computer Desk has a sliding Keyboard Tray, I have the Keyboard for
the 486 DOS/Win 3.1 box on it.

To the left of that Keyboard is a Mouse Pad that my Honeywell Mouse,
that has Two Wheels instead of a Ball on the bottom of it, is connected
to the 486 box.

Also on the Mouse Pad is a Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse that
"I control" my laptop with.

Paul, my belief is that a Lottery is only for the
"Mathematically Impared"!

I have been told that my Ancestors were Irish and Scottish people.

The Scottish part of me works very well, so I say "NO TO LOTTERY"!

I may be Mentally Challenged in some way or another,

but NOT WHEN IT COMES TO COUNTING MY MONEY!    ;-)     ;-)     ;-)

(What little I have now that I've been retired 13 1/2 Years).

Computing is Fun!!!!!!!!!!
