Yes, Corel PhotoPaint rather than Adobe PhotoShop.

Looking forward to seeing some pics. I doubt however that I will be able
to afford your prices. Smile

Hi HL,

Harry's saga reminds me of the old dear who sat and watched her television
whos screen only worked in all shades of blue for years. Then one of her
grandchildren commented that there was something funny about the picture on
this old black and white telly and shouldn't she buy a new colour one.

"Don't be silly," she said, "this _is_ a colour set and its been working
perfectly for years!"

Some people will watch anything.

ROFL!! That expression means he wants to go out on his motorcycle and
"catch some wind".....I believe. With Chili, he would be sending it to
us!! He could sure clear out a room in 5 seconds flat!

Go ahead, Mart, have your fun!
Right now its working allright and I'm going to check 'the connections' as
soon as time permits, before delving into 'new' territory.
There is one more possibility, but I'll leave that for later...

H:
Your reply is most appealing and objective, without the sometimes nasty
taunting.
Very refreshing, easy to comply to and much appreciated.
Thank you.

Harry.

No.....with the exception of Chilli, the Brits spelled all of the above
right. As do we in Little Britain. Colour, humour, harbour and so on.
Lorry for truck, torch for flashlight.....and tons more.

Remember, the Brits were there long before there was an America. So you
will have to realize you Yanks just don't speak proper English!! LOL.

Not true. We've been *fixing* the English language ever since independence,
slowly sorting out the mish-mash that is the so-called "English" language!

Now that is funny! The Americans have done more to bastardise English
than anyone including the English and they're not making a bad job of
doing it themselves.

LOL.....you ought to hear the way they mispronounce a lot of words as
well. Blouse, route, luxury, for starters. One of my Yank buds and I
were talking on the phone about 3 weeks ago, and were howling at the
difference in how we talk. Poor Ron could hardly even understand him
for starters. Even the Loon's accent is way softer than this one was.

But you can always spot a Brit with the word "whilst". (G)

A good example of a fairly extreme difference is route
Route = Root (English) and Rout (American)
Similarly router.

However regional dialects which were very strong here until the advent of
widespread television meant that as late as the early 60s when asked a
question by a Geordie (someone from the Newcastle area in the NE of
England) I honestly thought he was speaking German although I was possibly
influenced by there being some real Germans in the group. I turned to a
German guy standing next to me and asked what the person was saying only
for the German to reply that he hadn't a clue as he was one of mine (an
Englishman). <g>

Not true, oh psychotic one, I use 'whilst' all the time. The real problem
with the English language is that there are not enough words! We use the
same word for a variety of meanings, i.e. minute.......is that a measure of
time or something very small? Lead.......is this a heavy metal or someone
showing you the way? I could go on an on.........
Heirloom, old and still need that wind
(a heavy breeze or the tightening of a clock spring?)
