Last week Rob Brueckner accidentally mis -addressed a private post to the
list.
He apologized as soon as he realized his mistake and offered the explanation
that he really needed a better way to organize his email system. Looks like
Fat Finger Freddy strikes again!
Rob uses a"hotmail" address so in all likelihood he may also be using MSN
for emails. I can really symphatize because I had to use MSN at one job I
worked at. For whatever reason the IT department either could not or would
not fix it so I could use Outlook on the terminal assigned to me. MSN and
Hotmail uses tiny little fonts and a restrictive little text box screen
for emails. I never found out how to change that.
Its my guess Rob has a vision issue same as me. I don't know how many times
I end up clicking on the wrong spot with my mouse cursor when tiny high
resolution screens are in use. If Rob uses cyber cafes for his email he may
not have the option of changing settings even if this was possible. .
Rather than condemn poor Rob and ban him from the list could someone with
the necessary technical savy help Rob organize his email addressing issues
and perhaps suggest a better system to prevent future mis addressing of
posts.
My big beef with computer programmers is their total disregard for the
needs of an ageing population with growing vision and shortening memory
spans. Having to memorize a sequence of keystrokes to get the darn 'puter to
work was easy at age 20 but at age 70 its a real chore. <VBG>
