U gotta be careful with all the viruses going about! I'm serious.

I read in today's newspaper that a MSFT programmer got into trouble. He said he was a consultant and made disparaging remarks about AOL. Still, don't know if MSFT has figured out which employee did it.

And I wouldn't download a MSFT product. Last time I did that was when we had Windows 3.1. We downloaded MSFT Browser for free on-line subscription to Wall Street Journal. When we downloaded the browser it crashed our PC, wiped hard drive clean.

Housemate was never able to restore 3.1. He had to go out and buy Windows 95.

So there's no support here for MSFT products! They create more trouble than they have ever been worth. Exception would have been Windows 3.0.
