Hey, don't knock the coal powered computers. By the time the Eureka show is over they may be the only ones that will still run. I run XP Pro also and my virus programs have stopped the only two that I ever encountered on-line and they never got to my computer. But I am also careful about going to un-known sites. My e-mail program uses Nortons as a built in screening program and so far it has worked very well. My filterskick any supicious mail to the Bulk folder and I can go in and look at it and if it has an attachment, I can open the e-mail and the Nortons will tell me the attachment has a virus and which one it is.
By the way, it looks as if I might be able to go for a ride this coming weekend. The news said it would only be in the 95/98 range and that the humidity would be down, so I will dig out a coat and getready. First time in weeks that it will not be over 107 if they are right.
