   Howdy! August,   
      
   Back a Year and a Half ago after I read and answered a message   
   From You, To Me in the other Windows Echo I forgot about Your   
   message in "THIS" Echo. back then.   
      
   I just wanted to say "Thank You" for the information about my wanting   
   to learn about how to get a Chromebook type emulator on XP to play   
   with CHROME OS.   
      
   One ROUNDTUIT completed in 1 1/2 Years.  (finally)   
      
   Thanks Again for the help.   
   Which proves that I'm not too far gone to be helped.   
      
   73 (Best Regards) de (From) Ed W9ODR         dit               dit.
