Choosing View available updates listed them. Double-clicking one of them brought up Details. Right-Clicking gave a little Choice List - View/Hide etc. What are you complaining about? |

Then you go right into attack mode when you're questioned. You should've posted this in the "UPDATE" newsgroup and let those people have you for lunch. All you have to do is click on "VIEW UPDATES" and you can get all the information your pea-sized brain can handle. Try a remedial reading class before your next boot up. -- "Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you." |

This puppy posts every couple months, I guess, to see his name in lights. He's a minor troll. I think he's STAN's brother. -- "Don't pick a fight with an old man.
