Default 47 merc apology

Apologies to anyone who may have tried to respond to the swap meet listing of the 47 merc coupe,by al pa.About the same time the car was listed,I found that Verizon would no longer support my e-mail,because of the age of my operating system.Old e-mail address was [email protected] .It hasn't worked for a good while.Still trying to iron it out.Sorry (I even tried to reach out to richard rawlings[fast and loud].)

The Richard Rawlings reference was intended as a humerous indication of frustration,about the speedbumps I experience,moving a car that I no longer can maintain.Only he would know that the Merc is just a couple of miles west of International Motors,where he purchased a Cadillac,in Export Pa.I wasn't aware that there may be some disrespect for his conduct.No more mention of it from me.

Richard is a TV show host/star. He does what he does and he does it well. No worries for his mention in my book like him or no.

Several months ago AOL (which runs Verizon email) sent an email saying our security settings had to be updated or else no email. If you didn't go to their tutorial and follow the guide, it's probably why it's not working.

Create a gmail account, you can view it from any browser, any operating system, I have an old Windows XP "netbook" (tiny laptop) and gmail works fine. I view my gmail account on my Android phone, an IPad and my Raspberry Pi.

Maybe it was more sophisticated that that - a Commodore 128
