Thanks for the tips, Wally. I've also begun to forward emails to Yahoo. I also began this morning to save things to AOL. It's too late now for the e-mails I've lost, but better late than never.

No two ways about it, most everyone has probably lost info. or will lose info. Yahoo has 1GB of mail space. It stays there until you delete it. Very easy to just forward letters to Yahoo mailbox from AOL. Then I know I have it for as long as I want. I also keep my BOOKMARKS in MYBOOKMARKS.com. I can pull up from the library or any other way I can get into the internet. You simply enter your identification and there you are. I know people think it's too simple, but it works. I guess I just like to keep it simple. Recall the old KISS principle. KEEP IT SIMPLE SAM. Actually the last word is not Sam, but you can add your own word. They also have a thing called Briefcase that you can keep things in.
