She claims I know how to keep a woman happy. You’re right. This is far too much fun. I better quit, before I get put on moderated status or worse. I’ve been booted off lists for far less reasons.

Making JAWS load faster
I have my JAWS load up at the log in screen. I don’t understand this urgency for JAWS to load up. Is it the old, I want it now! Mentality? Try and use a refurbished Windows 7, upgraded to 10 computer
