I didn't wake up with that attitude....stupid laptop decided to become annoying mid-morning. "I want to blow up Verizon too." But that's not quite correct either. Nothing is working up here...PC downstairs works fine.
"I want to blow up my laptop."
hmmmmm....that's the ticket.
Problem started today. I can send/receive fine IF I use my AOL software, which I hate. But with outlook, messages sit in my outbox for 85 zillion hours before finally being sent. I spent hours and hours configuring this IMAP connection so I wouldn't have to use AOL anymore...here- wanna see my fun error message? It's below. But an "NCR- computer help needed" post seemed pointless...there's a ghost in the machine. I need an exorcist, not a computer advisor
I sent myself a test message at 10PM. Just received it now (10:34).
NB- your earlier reply was posted and email notification received immediately.

(on an up note, I think a t-shirt that says "AOL blows. I want to blow up AOL; -MP 18 Feb 2007" is a good idea...I'll take mauve, with pink letters).

Maybe the manatees could help...
