Thanks, Woody, and I am sorry that you and the other Aolers will be affected. It takes a lot of time and patience to put up a web page from what I understand. My granddaughter used to do graphics or some such thing that pertained to websites, and it seemed to be pretty involved. I feel relieved that the mail will go through, and that the brower will still be around. Thanks again for your response Virgene .............................................................................. ...................... In a message dated 10/1/2008 2:18:09 A.M.

Only those AOLers that had web pages or wanted AOL web pages are affected by the recent "Hometown" and "FTP" announcement. All other AOLers are not affected. AOL mail and AOL browsers are not affected. But us AOLers that had AOL web pages are going to be weeping and wailing.

I use the AOL browser, and AOL email. I hope there is nothing happening that would suggest that there would be any transferring of files within the system. I would feel as though I were learning all over again. This would be as bad as trying to figure out a pattern for making clothing or balloon shades. Not a good comparison, but I am challenged pitifully in those areas, and I don't like trying out new ideas anymore when I am comfortable doing something that fits my capabilities. I'm still trying to figure out all the stuff on the menu of my cell phone...I just prefer on and off, makes life so much simpler.<G> Virgene PS: I googled and *still* don't know anymore than before I went to the sites that answered questions pertaining to FTP. I know that File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is what is being discussed, but who and what should we doing something differently. UGH!!!
