[Shotimes] Re: (OT) computer stuff

Hey Jim, those newfangled "indoor flush toilets" are pretty cool, aren't
they??  ;-)

Kidding aside, if you get broadband at home, and either get (1) hacked or
(2) virus-attacked, you will also become more knowledgeable about the
blocking devices out there!!

This thread has been becoming more and more "greek to me"

About the only thing that I can understand is that some of this stuff just
may prevent a nasty virus from entering this crap-top, but then again it may
not.  Also another problem is spam.  But this comes and goes.

I really liked my old DOS email!  No one now writes a visus that it could
decode, and it didn't work all that bad.  But now my server won't support it
anymore :-(
