I did try that newsreader but had problems with it and went back
to good old OE! But all will change as I am now in possession of
a Mac suited to X and will migrate there when I have set it up
right. No, this hatter fellow and his band of crazies that reply
to him and each other seem just to be able to get through to my

directly to me, that would only get me started and I might get

OK. You can have one NZ joke for your effort:
Melbourne Zoo acquired a female of a very rare species of
gorilla.
Within a few weeks, the gorilla became very cantankerous and
difficult to handle. Upon examination, the Zoo veterinarian
determined the problem.
The gorilla was on heat. To make matters worse, there were no
male gorillas of the species available.
While reflecting on their problem, the Zoo management noticed
Rick, a big Kiwi lad, responsible for fixing the Zoo's
machinery.
Rick was approached with a proposition. Would he be willing to
mate with the gorilla for $500? Rick showed some interest,
but said he would have to think the matter over carefully.
The following day, Rick announced that he would accept their
offer, only under three conditions: "First," he said, "I don't
want to have to kuss (kiss) er (her)." "Sicondly, you must niver tull (tell)
anyone about thus (this)."
The Zoo administration quickly agreed to these conditions, so
they asked what was his third condition. "Wull," said Rick, "You
gotta give me another wik (week) to come up with the $500."
