I haven't got sound on this PC but will try to snaffle ds1 laptop later.

And hey, don't worry about spam (spam sandwiches yum!) - that transplant thread is staying in Active Convo's come hell or high water

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 07/07/2006 10:03

Hey misdee, do you think that mumsnet will put a link to the Donor Register on the home page? Or is there one already?

Off to check.......

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 07/07/2006 10:06

Nope - can't see one. Will send mail now.

Thanks for posting misdee.

In rare cases, the influenza virus can attack and destroy the heart. This can also happen, very rarely, w/a cold virus.

How do I listen ? When I click on the link, it just brings up The Transplant Log, I get a million and one Active X click boxes but no sound.... Do I have to click a specific link ?

alexsmum · 07/07/2006 10:10

Choose the sound category.

Scroll down to Peter (April 27 2006) and then click on the little black triangle on the left of the sound bar, immediately above the pictures.

On my computer, below the pic of Peter, and above the pic of Peter's VAD, there's a sound bar - just press the play arrow and you get to listen to him - it's really moving, misdee.
