They seem to be conventional computer programs which have inflexible rules of responses. Microsoft is a culprit in this confusion. And its programming of its clone of Skype is just shameful. I once prematurely hit the call button before finishing typing in the phone number. Now I have a "contact" I can't delete. And my friend's phone rings when called from Walmart's phone, but not when called from the clone of Skype, which always sends me to voice mail. I'd like to inform them about these bugs, but there no one to speak with. AG * 8ym -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
