Yes, well, I was very busy this past week, and Wednesday and Thursday I did not have this computer turned on, not even for e-mail, got that notice Friday and had actually planned to renew it on Thursday evening but other things were happening. It was my screw-up, but since it wasn't uploading despite a computer that is fast, despite a commercial DSL connection, it is probably just as well, I am not going for that book again,. Maybe when it cools off here a bit and when I find out why I am not able to upload a file when I could submit a book two months ago with all the same situations on my computer that are currently established, I will try a validation. However, for now, I am off to visit Harry.

So I thought, for the newbies, I'd mention this: If you count seven *including* the day you download or renew, your book(s) will be renewed and not released. Also, you can renew them a day or two sooner if you want. And you can renew after midnight on day six, which is the 7th day. I usually do that so I have the book longer, though since we can keep on renewing it doesn't really matter much. HTH Cindy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
