checked.

B. Comments
About The Yahoo ID
This
process we have set up, where we "loan" you a
Yahoo ID, is a somewhat "shakey" security
practice, because we are allowing you to use one
of my Yahoo IDs. But since many of you don't
have Yahoo IDs, this seems to be the easiest way
to handle this.
If you have
your own Yahoo ID, we can arrange it so you can
use your own Yahoo ID to log in, and not
have to remember another one.

C. Viewing PDF
Files With Adobe Reader
We
provide the membership list as a PDF file.
A PDF file will usually give you a "sharper"
printout than a JPEG version.
The PDF file
should open in Adobe Reader when you double
click on the filename.
- But in
some cases it may not. Then you may have to
download the file to your hard drive, then
start Adobe Reader first ,
- then use
the "file" --> "open" command using Adobe
Reader 's menus.
Obtaining
Acrobat Reader:
- If you
do not already have the FREE application
Adobe PDF Reader.
- it is
available at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_allversions.html
-
- You may
already have it on your hard
drive.
Look for
"Adobe Reader".in your "programs"
menu.
