[AT] Degree symbol--know how?

[Larry D Goss]

LOL!  I discovered a long time ago that I can only focus my eyes and 
concentrate on one thing at a time, George.  So I've never been tempted to 
have more than one monitor operating on a system at a time -- unless the 
second monitor is just relaying the material I'm already focusing on.  There 
are those (my son included) who think I'm a fuddy-duddy because I don't have 
monitors set up so I can scroll from screen to screen with my mouse and work 
at two or three things at once.  Hey!  I'm trying to slow down my life, not 
speed it up.

Merry Christmas to you and Marilyn.  We'll probably drive by within hailing 
distance at least once in the next couple of weeks, but will be pushing the 
limits of winter solstice daylight while traveling and won't take the time 
to stop and kick tires.  Besides that, if I stopped in at the Robinson's, 
all the Dotson's, Big Dog, and everybody else along the way, I'd never get 
to where I was planning to go.  Rena and I were on the road for better than 
a week to eastern Ohio in October.  She wouldn't let me make the trip with 
her if I didn't promise not to beg to stop and visit with tractors, friends, 
or relatives along the way.  I agreed on one condition -- we couldn't stop 
at antique malls, either.  :-)  BTW, it ended up being a very productive 
research trip on genealogy for both of us.

Larry,

It seems like you must be struggling along with a single monitor?  Shame on
you!
