  Ellen - Please do get more involved since you now have a laptop. It's great that you have Jamie to help you.
Nothing beats hands-on help when it comes to learning about computers. Don't worry about making mistakes. The only mistakes that count are these: Recommending that the Fox News Channel rename itself as the Geraldo News Channel. Starting a fan club for Brooke Alexander, Rita Cosby or Brigitte Quinn. Turning a thumbs down on hotties in jeans and unbuttoned shirts.
Asking why Fox News hasn't hired Peter Arnett. Insisting that the hotties are on far too much and preferring that Fox hire more female reporters instead. Lol! Dan Springer just showed up a few minutes ago (first hottie spotted today) reporting on Scott Petersen. Dan is looking very good in a brown jacket, which may be leather. I couldn't quite decide.
