No need to assume. That's exactly what I said.

Nawh, Sam. I was just reporting what I was seeing on a couple of my
machines (Windows 98 and Windows XP as the OS). I was just
reporting the facts as I'm seeing them and as I recalled them from a
few years ago.

I snipped some things to help me stay focused on what the real issues
are/were. It helps to do such things. Sometimes I post garbage and
confusion and I find it's best to reread what I post before posting. It
usually comes out 1000% better when I do the rereading.

I've posted some confusing things at one time or another. It happens
once in awhile. Usually it happens when my blood sugars get real low.
Real low is different in everybody's book. 30 and lower is real low for
me and it happens during two seasons... spring and fall when I'm
adjusting insulin levels.

If I'm wrong about something, let me know. Thanks, Sam.
