    welcome to Priuschat Norman. my dad who is in his late 70's cant see either so his text is HUGE....

    but seriously Norman, i dont care if you yell or not, but it makes it hard for you to emphasize a word or phrase when you do all caps. sure, you can bold words or slant them or even underline them...but without face to face conversation, sometimes the true meaning of the post is lost without highlighting a few of the important parts.

    Presto,
    thanks for the tip, I'll give that a try, appreciate you trying to help me right off the bat, VS. what some of the replies have been, ALSO Presto, sitting here thinking about what you said to try, made me wonder if that in effect would make my 'regular typing" longer, like taller letters?? Is that allowed? isn't taller letters going to be about the size of "CAP" letters?? hmmm. well maybe instead of that being considered 'hollering" it might be just talking loud :eek: {lol} just kidding, thanks, Norman

    Used Oil Analysis used to find out what is in the Oil (contaminants) and also to see if there is an underlying problem with the ICE. Most list at least a 15 items that are checked for. Plus the TBN remaining Total Base Number. The remaining level of additives left after use.

    Tlhat's O.K. Norman. We love you. There should be a way in the menu above the blank letter to make the fonts larger, maybe a fourteen. Keep writing the way you're comfortable.

    Norman,
    Your first contact with Priuschat wasn't the nicest response. I am glad you hung in there. We really are a pretty nice bunch of people. There is alot to learn and alot to share. Stay with us.

    There never was a doubt in my mind about this gruop. These are some of the smartest gals/guys in this group who have some of the best knowledge there is. I'll let it rest, about my first contact.......

    I have heard of the caps being used for screaming, but I have noticed that many people use caps for many reasons... can't see well, bad typists, or just used to it. Smile, I don't even know how to post a message.

    That control key/scroll wheel tip is pretty cool, I never knew that one. Too bad not all applications use it.
    But it doesn't affect what we see, only what you see. So maybe you're yelling at your screen, but we don't know it B)
