   That's why Chris had us create a dummy echo to prevent that from happening and   
   it has worked for years and still does.

   If you want to take another shot at my system, you are welcome to,  My Intel   
   G2030 is probabaly what made me think it is dual-core.  After I post messages,   
   the system sends the mail to standby and hangs, but any other program I want   
   to run will work.
