I have been recuperating for 3 months and haven't had access to this website.
Before my operation I had posted a few questions in differrent areas. How can
I find the responses. When I search on "Toni" I don't get the results I'm
looking for.

MS only keep posts for 90 days AFAIK so you're out of luck here. Try google
groups - they keep an archive for ever I'm told!

Search for your name on Google Groups Advanced Search. Constrain the dates
as preferred.

This isn't really a website. Here's an explanation and a better way to use
these resources:

Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn
to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you
can use Outlook Express since you already have it. Here are some links to
information about newsgroups:
