[WelMac] Introducing... Me

[Bryan / Anne Miller]

Hi Jo!
           Thanks for the great help with my questions, I have since  
found my mouse was configured wrong, putting that right has made all  
the difference.
Where is this meeting held? As I am in Paraparaumu.
Question, only this one. My keyboard has locked up the numbers on the  
right hand side, and is a bl--dy nuisance, How do I put this wrong  
right! The other symbols are working fine.
Thanks
Bryan
