- Can someone near Frank give him a hand with his newsreader?
- There are some features in it he may want to learn to use, and he

- As for Nadine and her question, I couldn't care less, but I
- have noticed that a number of people do (at least enough to
- post followups) and that a fair few of these people are posting from
- .uk sites.

- Have a Nice Day Frank,
