BIG NEWS!!!
I finally got my Window’s 7 in the mail.  It took me a while to realize why I missed out on the initial mailings of the software.  I fell victim to the curse of too many email accounts.  I am sure there are many of you out there that have multiple e-mail accounts.  Many of those accounts probably forward e-mail to one central account.  Well I sat back and took a look at the e-mail accounts I have collected over the years and I have a minimum of 10 email addresses.  There might be more out there but, these …
