Nothing useful to suggest from a techie point of view, but with perpetual spinach, although you can harvest all through the winter, it's best not to pick when there's a frost. Very tasty though, and seems to grow anywhere.

Thanks ever so much J. Will make my online experience so much easier. You are now fully qualified as "techie" (IMHO)

it's the character map you're wanting... i use it when i need to put print on something for paint shop pro since they don't give you all the symbols you need (like � for instance, i watermark my photo's!)

if you go to Start---> Find--->Files or Folders then type in 'character map' you should find it as an .exe file near the top of the listing... dead simple

Amazing. I don't know half what my computer can do. Really useful.
