What a shame that Cathy believes everyone and takes it to the extreme. :-/All she needs is the case. The rest is preference.@ Susan – You’re welcome! Glad it helped out.@ CC Alexander – On a Mac, it’s Command +. On a PC, it’s Control +.@ GretchensMom – That’s impressive that you found mention of Billy’s award last February! After I read that, I tried searching further to get more details but was unsuccessful. We’ll keep trying, but it sure would be nice to either hear from them or figure out something. Have a great day, nutty Cathy Clan!!

Good morning all. They do the same thing with cameras. I was given one as a gift but couldn’t use it until I went down and bought a battery and a battery charger.

A Day at the Races

This is precisely why I now do electronics shopping online!! No aggressive salespeople.

If Cathy had any sense at all, she’d do what my husband and I do: we figure out exactly what we need then buy it all for the lowest price we can find online. Everyone should know by now that if you purchase things like this from the actual electronic stores themselves, you’re going to buy all that stuff — whether it’s necessary or not — at horrendously marked-up prices. Since money doesn’t grow on trees . . . why anyone wouldn’t want to save as much money as they can whenever they can is a real mystery to me!
Hi, rgcviper!
Hello and Happy Wednesday to all my “Cathy Clan” friends. Hope your week is going well so far!

The seller must have received an A+ in salesman school.

To enlarge, hold down the control key, then hit the plus (+) sign one or two or even 3 times to enlarge. To reverse, hold down the control key, the hit the minus (-) sign, not the underscore sign, as many times as you hit the plus sign. The cartoon will get larger or smaller as the case may be.

AACK—I should’ve seen this joke coming. Shame on me.

Hi Cathyites!! Gee that was the same experience I had the last time I bought a computer — the price starts out reasonable and next thing you know, it’s over $1,000. One thing that was well worth it tho was the security system. It works really well.
