PIA

[Raymond House]

OK Daniel and Cranky, thanks for your inputs.I do have the little green guy
at the top but on earlier version it did not work that way and yes I
installed PIA the same way Cranky.On that earlier version I had to go
through the manager to get it working. Anyway, I am doing all my searching
now through "Framabee" and I will not resubscribe to PIA. Thanks.
