I've tended to use standard because it's easier and because I haven't had any

That's my theory as well. That's why I only use administrator mode for those
few administrator activities that require it. And when I do, I usually
disconnect the internet cable.

Hi Nick,
I've always used Admin access on my PCs and consider it to be more secure

they are very good for zero cost, a couple years

I haven't concentrated much on graveyard DX, but there are a couple that stood
out for me.
First one was several years ago (probably at least 6 or 8 now, I don't

KNSN), whose signal is strong enough to pretty much have
