It is about a 1.4 meg download.

I have had so many people email me with that IncrediMail and ask why I wasn’t using it, when it first came out it was a little buggy, it has been out awhile now, so I downloaded it from my Free downloads page and installed it, I LIKE IT !! it is really fun to use and wasn’t to hard to setup. It only sets up one Account when you first install it and you need to enter the password to that account. To have it download mail from another account you need to have it set it up and then put in the password, but it was pretty basic, a lot like Outlook Express with a lot more features. I like the Notifiers, they popup and tell you you have mail, I’m going to checkout the pay for version, called the Premium IncrediMail, some extra features and no ads and you can customize your pages.
We actually got some snow last night 1/2 inch, imagine that, snow in January in Wisconsin, we have not gotten any that stayed more then a day or two yet, it has been nice, a little nippy, -11 at night, but that’s normal for up here. I’m hoping this melts, I haven’t had to get the snow blower out yet ( : that’s a plus. Only bad thing about no snow cover, is that the frost goes down farther in the ground.

Well I ordered a Queen size Mattress set from Healthy Foundation.com , I ordered it on the 2nd of January 2003, on their site and it said you would receive it in 2-4 weeks, well we got it today January 8 2003 is that cool or what. I would imagine because the Holidays are over; the shippers were a little less busy, but that was quite a surprise. We had to let it warm up, being foam it was rather hard from being in the cold, we live in Wi. But I just got off it, reluctantly!! and it feels wonderful. Again the folks at Healthy Foundations came through, Great price, Great Quality and 5 Star service, Thank You, David Rosenberg and all the people at Healthy Foundations; from myself and my wife Deb. If you are looking to get a new Mattress set, checkout their web site and find out about their Memory foam mattresses and mattress toppers, very informative, we must have looked at 20 or 30 mattress Sets before we decided on the Healthy Foundations Isotonic Memory Foam Mattress and we also bought a King Size Topper for our old Mattress to use until we got our Mattress Set.

Friday Jan 3, our Washer stopped agitating and spinning, so the geek I am, I went on the web for info on how to repair it. I found this site Applianceaid.com they had all the information I needed, step by step instructions and pictures I fixed it and it was easy, it was the Motor Coupling, from their site I understand these go out quit regularly, it wasn’t Agitating or Spinning, and they had the part for my Kenmore Washer ( with Sears it probably would have been 2 weeks to get the part ) and was able to have it delivered the next day, way cool ! So, if you have an Appliance problem, washer, dryer, garbage disposal, etc checkout their site. I Like It !!! Update: I got the part before noon Sat Jan 4, 5 Star company and the Washer works like new, Thank You Applianceaid.com !
