Just the same old super-market fare which I'm limited to, financially!

Still, it does everything I'm allowed to do, but my e-mails do get intercepted, and my posts do get re-written?

Maybe if I had money, I could at least afford a decent firewall? The free-ware is admirable, and well intentioned, but they have not the slightest understanding of the sense of purpose of those who keep hacking my PC!

Almost forgot: I meant to say hello again to "Simply stupid" or whatever his name was (he started this thread) but never mind; he can reach me at [email protected].
