 HG> Hi Ed,

 EV> A couple of weeks ago I was talking about my Spelling and Grammer.

 HG> Fine, tell me if it slows down the text entry noticeably.

I looked at the Grammar extension for Adobe Open Office and learned it
needs a JAVA JRE to use it.

I've removed JAVA and Adobe Flash from this XP box, so I didn't get the
Grammar option for AOO.

I took a look at Microsoft Works Word Processor and saw it also has a
Grammar Checker in it.
And I've used that program a few times when I wanted to get Extra Fancy
with what I write, aka if I need Columns in what I written.

Otherwise if I just need to change Fonts or Font Size or Color, Wordpad
works for me for what I do here.

I just found out that the Works Word Processor can check Grammar, so checking
out what You've wrote below is on my ROUNDTUIT LIST.  .... ..

 HG> None of the 556 lines of the file had changed a BIT, ........

I do the best I can with what I got.

The Floppy Disks for the Commodore 1541 Drive are formatted for 682 Blocks.
664 Blocks for Data and 18 Blocks for the Directory if I remember correctly.
The Blocks/Sectors are 256 Bytes which means to me the Disk holds 180 KB on
one side.

But You knew that already didn't You???? ??

Did You ever have anyone bring any Commodore gear in to Your Shop to be
repaired?
