Hi Anne,(and everyone!)

I am such a dunce at computers...honest. I'm that
person who sits trying to type in data with one hand
with the instruction manual in the other!!
I must admit I wouldn't have known about the unlock
button unless I had read the previous email sent about
this. (sorry, whoever you are, I just can't remember
your name now). I held off even opening up the cd
until now when all the comments came through, I was
very apprehensive, but for a complete idiot like me,
my installation went ok.......mind you, haven't tried
to migrate anything yet (probably serve me right and
it will all go to pieces then).

I shall try to input some data later on tonight and
see what happens. (have done my back in and can't sit
for too long!!) From my limited use so far, it looks
good, time will tell!!

Regards,

Lori
