Fear Not our ROM deprived member! As soon as you figure it out, you'll load new software or get a new CPU and the process begins again!
Spelling! hehehe I miss spell check when on the board!

They had problems with that, otherwise you just click on it and retype what you want, then submit it. You have to remember an explorer window is just showing you what some server out on the net sent you, and normaly has nothing to do with your computer. Best thing you can do is try to type better, that is hardest part. Also you can compose in word program and spell check, then highlight/copy and paste it here in the window instead of typing it(maybe if long post). Can do that with web addresses to, (highlight with cursor) use ctrl/C to copy and ctrl/V to paste, X is cut if you need it. Just try it or ask here to figure it out, no biggy:)

The net is your library, and google is your servant. S & F is just awesome boating mecca:D

Hehehe, no nobody cares and it takes too much time. This is pretty informal anyway. It just seems that many guys do not type, especially older people, and they are missing out. It is not hard to type good enough to be active on here, and you'll use it in other places. I never understood this 'computer fear' thing, if ya don't know then ask! You can learn about pretty much anything on the net, just type it in google, but many do not know that. Would not want to miss out on some boating guru's comments here either because of this ya know:D

I've had people afraid to do something on the computer because they thought the thing was going to blow up if they pushed the wrong key. So they did nothing. Thats no fun at all.:cool:
