many of us do not have all day (nor the patience) to sit and click through everything just to be able to read a couple of pages. there should be a roadmap somewhere to assist with this. unfortunately i haven't found one yet and i know that i am computer literate and software savvy. i use to train others to use programs. maybe one of the people who have had time to click through much of this board can provide a tip sheet.

learning something new, to me, does not mean this much frustration. learning something new should be a pleasant process imho.

If you manage to find us and don't like our new house....tough, learn it or leave, we don't care.

Once I subscribe, I don't need to delete the subscription when I'm done with it. I can leave it as subscribed and not read anything else if I lose interest.

Some good positive comments on here thank you as the negativity on some threads without even trying it or listening to the help they are offered is getting me down now.
