Double Sigh

I had a long post in reply and for the first time, HZ ate it! Gave me an error message, something about the database not posting the message. NSS!

Anyway, I was trying to get to IE to use the Preview button because I don't have that button in HZ thrugh Firefox. Someone had kindly posted a how-to get it on Firefox but I wasn't able to find what he pointed me to.

I hate IE 7; it's a piece of shit. I did the link there and it wouldn't let me bring it up. I'd click on it and IE would ding at me. I cannot figure out what's wrong and my fatal flaw is I have NO patience with technical stuff. It either works or screw it!

I used to love Netscape but don't have it on this computer. i suppose I could download it if it's still out there. I love Firefox and it's multi-tabs but it's got too many bells and whistles and I don't have time to screw with finding out how they all work. If I had a whole day to futz away, maybe I'd investigate it in depth.

I used to laugh at my Mom because she couldn't work any electronics. I never had a problem there. I read the instructions and followed. I still read instructions. However, I have yet to find anything much on-line that really knows how to give detailed instructions that can be followed easily. I was vetting some the other day at work and some idiot wrote a manual and forgot to tell the reader to CLICK THE RUN BUTTON! Sorry, I'm a Virgo and I'm a step by step logical person and I do not want ONE thing omitted from how-to's. I'm also literal. If someone doesn't know what they're doing to begin with, they won't just assume to click the RUN button! They don't know what the hell the RUN button is!

OK, rant over. :-)

Typing my name last. I DO listen. ;-) (and copying the damn message this time before clicking POST!)
