Yeah, I did get the "Restore patch", it's the only reason I allowed myself
to go back to Me after the Sept8 fiasco, I mean like, it's what I originally
paid my money for......... I don't recall voluntarily taking the 311311
thing, but stuff does happen, and I probably did the USB one on purpose as
well.............as for the rest, weeellllll, I think I'll just take a pass
for now.........
Thanks for trying anyway Noel.........
