    I don't know about e-mail by cell phone, but normally on computers you can send almost any file as an attachment to the mail. I am guessing that doesn't work for you, right?

    I use a bootable version of Puppy Linux. It is a basic tool to me like a hammer for a carpenter. I usually keep a bootable version on CD,...

    As far as I know the engine computers do not use Linux. So, it might be more beneficial if you ask that question on a car board. Traffic on this board is low. Years ago, with high traffic, there...

    Sorry, I said I had one class right now. That was a mistake. I have 4 classes. One needs this material.

    Solely to let you know people do read your postings, I am going to say that the non-Latin characters knock me out of the "helper's box." Sorry.
