I meant, go through the *whole* list until you find/recognize "This is the one!". So don't jump to the apps starting with 'n' (for 'notes'). For example one of my first ones is "Acapela TTS Voices", so if I don't remember the 'Acapela' bit and start looking at the 'T' (for TTS, Text-To-Speech), I won't find/see it. > I must be newer version than the one I deleted as it has more bells and > whistles than before and no pink circles (yet)
