Alright, are you just yanking my chain or what? You seem to be asking me to telepathically implant the information needed for un-knowledgeable computer users to safely attach their computers to the Internet. You need to lobby the vendors who sell computers, Apple, Dell, HP, etc. to configure the machines they sell so they have all the security features needed turned on at time of sale. If people can't/won't go out and educate themselves how to use computers in today's world, there isn't much I can do as a private citizen. It is an ugly reality that computers AREN'T as easy to use and safe as they should be. I can't snap my fingers and fix that myself overnight. I think I'm done responding on this thread. --[Lance] -- GPG Fingerprint: 409B A409 A38D 92BF 15D9 6EEE 9A82 F2AC 69AC 07B9 CACert.org Assurer _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
