I'm going to blow off steam, and warn others with slow or old versions of IE to write long message in two parts! (If you are using the "regular" reply button that appears at the bottom of the message)

Or write it elsewhere, then copy into the window. (SAVE it first on the other source, if possible)

It froze on me, and I just LOST a long message I spent an HOUR on.

I have limited time on the computer, being that I'm on a public one. They have the older versions of IE, so maybe that's why it's not working.

Nobody ask me "why don't I get a computer". I have VERY limited funds, and that's another bill I don't need. If you'll buy it all for me, I'll take it.

I can't remember everything I typed.

It's a great feature, but it's not going to work for everyone. I wanted to point that out, or emphasize it if mentioned earlier, as I think it was.

My e-mail saves a draft every few seconds, but on here I lost it all.

I really miss the "snail mail" days when there's no way I could "lose" something I'm writing. The only way that could happen is if it blew away in the wind or something like that. And there's paper weights for that.

If it wouldn't hurt, I'd really bang my head against the wall literally.

Computers are NOT all they are cracked up to be. Not everybody is lucky enough to be sitting in the comfort in their own home, with a lightning speed Internet connection and the latest browser version. Good for them, but many of us are left behind due to many reasons.

I curse computers a lot of times, and I curse the Internet at times.

Thank you for the hugs, Trav. I really needed them. It's only mid-morning, and nothing is going right for me. I'm already pissed about a lot of things in my life, and pissed at some people.

Now I'm pissed at TECHNOLOGY, and losing everything that I just vented. That's one hour of my life I'm not getting back.

P.S. At least I can see the first sentence or two of the message. THAT works for me.

P.P.S. I see you are all referring to the "quick reply" button, and not the "reply" button. I stupidly thought that might be enhanced by some chance. But no, and the "quick reply" may not be enough for such a long message. (It may not be handle it) After all this, I'm too scared to try the quick reply. Not even for a short reply. I don't have time for this.
