It's safer for "the network" than Windows or Internet Explorer. Your brother and dad should be more concerned about how safe it is for _you_, which can range from perfectly safe to perfectly unsafe depending on which servers and channels you frequent, just like HTTP, FTP, SMTP, High School, downtown, the park, etc. Also depends on your definition of safe. -- Hans Fugal ; http://hans.fugal.net There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself. -- Johann Sebastian Bach
