Okay, I am finally, after about 100 years, getting my blog started. I haven't been able to get yoda (my iMac) to accept cookies and it's a long story and yes I have had "accept cookies" selected in my browser, it's a bigger problem than that.
Today I went through my entire harddrive and examined all the little things I've installed from the MacAddict disks and I found two likely culprits and deleted them in their entirety and now I think I'm back in business.
But then, I couldn't get into egroups which is now yahooclubs or some such nonsense. Another rant for another day.
