Good for you! More power to you! Personally, I can't keep up with the 350 spam emails I get a day, and that is down from almost 500 a day several weeks ago. If I didn't use a spam filter, I would be constantly checking my email program to see who wants what constantly and I'd never get any work done. Not to mention having to determine whether the email is something I care about - like when I receive emails from not quite as tech saavy people that have their email set up wrong and so have an incoming address I would never recognize. But that's just me. Guess some people (evidently you and your spouse) are more efficient than others (like myself) and have much much better memories. --> Russ -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
