You *will* get burned at some point. It's a question of when, not if.

Well sure, now that I've announced to the world that I am unarmed.

Oh, well. Computer prices are coming down.

That would be your solution to a virus messing up your computer???

News flash: Unprotected computers can become infected within a matter of
minutes. If your ISP's providing some sort of firewall, you're lucky it's
working. But if you *do* have a problem, it will be proof that the
protection does NOT work, and that a new computer will run into a similar
problem.


Before I turned off the warning messages, I was surprised how many times
my computer would get probed, probably at least once every 5 min. No
dinner, no drinks .... nothing. Wam Bam Thank you Mame.
