That's disgraceful. Thank goodness I stopped using McAfee. (Since I have to be 
sure I don't send on  anything that I've received containing a virus, I use 
Sophos for checks.)

Useful to know. Why not quote us the price and then we have all the vital info 
if we want it?

Problem for me is the meetings are on Wednesdays and I have very early 
breakfast business meeting to get to EVERY Thursday, and I mean early, with 
some preparation the evening before. And some evening business meetings I 
really do have to attend are on a Wed evening so there are persistent 
clashes, or Wed breakfast meetings so I've had enough by 6pm.....

Someone thought the mailing list is dead. It seems to arrive often enough not 
to be! For me it's valuable as I'm not tecchie trained and I learn from it, 
also can get much-appreciated help.
