Without getting into the specifics of the complaint, I'd just like to ask "WHAT" I'm doing wrong in that my computer refuses to print this gentleman's response. Is there something built in to prohibit "negative" responses from being printable OR, as a computer illiterate, am I doing something wrong? On everything else, I hit "print" twice and bingo, it's there. But not on this message......help.

Re: Printing
Loren,
Due to the cgi scripting and the frames that make this discussion board possible, it can be very frustrating to try to get it to print. The background colors and print colors can also cause printing trouble.
For a foolproof way to print messages from this board, select the entire message (or the part you would like to print) with your mouse. Press Ctrl-C for a PC, (Mac users are on your own) to copy the text. Open Wordpad, or Notepad, and press Ctrl-V to paste the text. Now edit it as you would like and print it or save it to a file. This is really not that hard when you have a ready icon for Wordpad or Notepad.
I hope this helps.

Re: Printing
There's a neat utility available for Windows PC's called "Print Screen" that allows you to print whatever's on the whole screen or in any open window on the screen, either direct to your printer or to a .bmp file for storage; you just press the "Print Screen" button like in the old days of DOS, and zap! There it is, coming out of the printer. Available at most software stores (CompUSA, Best Buy, mailorder houses, etc.)Comment

Re: Printing
There's a third alternative which is a combination of the above two ideas.
1)With your browser open at the screen you want to print, hit "print screen" 2)Open a new document in Word 3)Hit "paste" or "control v" 4)Voila!
Don't be impressed, this is one of only two geeky things I know how to do on a computer.
