hi tc..

but I am getting a little burned out on computers. It was a hobby which I thoroughly enjoyed until my work gravitated towards using computers all day.

i absolutely hear you on this one...those of us who spend our computers during working hours as a tool or perhaps a vehicle just want to put the key in the ignition, and start up, get to the destination and hopefully not crash or stall along the way.

i daresay most users didn't think they encounter a daily routine of chasing the seemingly constant barrage of trojans, spyware, and malware

more maintenance and prevention than most of us would have imagined several years ago...

maybe the 10 year charts of of symc v. msft is illustrative of how computing issues have evolved.

ps...

please don't apologize....your kind willingness to share your insight and heavy lifting (also known as *work*!) has been greatly appreciated by all who frequent this thread
