Remember some time ago, when I had the same complaint? People offered several ways to have more than one window open at the smae time. The only way I can now recall is to click File, then highlight New, then click Window. While I've been reading here and typing, my Private Message screen has been coming up in another window, so in about one second, I'm going over there to read! Jo, you were the one who first made me aware that this was possible--thank you, Sweetie!

The rapacity of BT is the major stumbling block. The cost of telecommunications, not the internet itself, is absolutely crazy! The idiot also known as Capfka ...

You have finally joined the club, CK! Welcome to GB, anyway - at least your basic health care will be relatively inexpensive - even dental care is less than many other places world wide. But to say this is the land of free speech!!! No-one who has ever received a British phone bill could ever claim that! apols to pre-edit readers for drunken typing - I was sober, but my keybpard had been out drinking with my piano.

The railways certainly have gone downwards, so far as service is concerned. Fares are no dearer than when they were nationalized, but the service was much better. trains, more or less ran on time, then, and to where you wanted them to go, not just on the routes that make big profits.

Everybody seems to whinge, but no one seems to be prepared to do anything about it. BT is subject to government oversight, particularly in pricing. If people really wanted change here, they'd pressure the government. For heaven's sake, kill the usage-based call charges. There's no earthly justification for them.
