REPLY I know several computer savvy people who are forced to run MS products due to their work. They have a cheap desktop with Linux for email and intenet acces. They transfer necessary files from their isolated MS computers to the Linux for sending to outside people or receiving files from them. More effective than a software firewall. Regrettably this doesn't address the problems of a hardware crash. But a removable UBS drive and a raid system should go a long way to dealing with that. Unfortunately, more connectors, plug ins and cabling adds to the clutter and leaves equipment susectible to salt air corrosion unless you are careful. Incidentally I just talked to someone who lost all his files because Yahoo decided to delete their bulk storage of older files stored there by their email clients. Apparently Yahoo never sent notification out that they planned to erase all this stuff to clean up their systems. So beware of online storage of your files. It may not be as secure as you may think. Our church minister lost all his family photos that were stored on-line by some service or other. He lost th l aptop he was using and could not remember his access code and password for manual entry on a new computer.. regards Arild _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
