Incidentally has anyone else noticed that the latest Windows housekeeping from Microsoft has created all kinds of havoc in the choice of fonts for Word and Outlook? At least one of the fonts seems to have disappeared, while some kind of glitch in the new algorithm will require you to go back and tediously restore all your default preferences

I tell you, they hate us

Sorry Jackie, "housekeeping" is jargon for keeping software current. It comes automatically and you have the option of not accepting it. I always accept in the hope that they will have cleared up all the glitches from last one. Why you don't get 'em I don't know

Eta: Indeed my No. 1 Son, who is a high-paid IT, says also that I should switch to Mac

But I'm just too old to start over
