Follow up on my original email.
It happened again right after I sent the last email. It stayed frozen
until the time changed to the very top of the hour. Then everything
started working again just like I had restarted it. This must be related
to the few seconds pauses I get at the top and bottom of every hour? I had
been getting those paused for months and just lived with it.
One other request. If someone could point me to a how-to correctly reply
to this list using gmail I will be eternally grateful.
