Sorry, just my opinion. I always post in plain text
because that is what
etiquette demands. I happen to think there are a lot of
people who like to
cling to the past and dont realize that things change, and
are trying to
keep the usenet stuck in the late 1980s.

That's insulting {"people who...cling go the past"
"don't realize things change"), but of course it's your
opinion.

And this is mine:

That's when you have to learn about networking, course having an ISP that
will work with a home that is networked is a must.

When you live in a home where computer networks are the livelihood and
computers are their hobby, I just don't know how people share a computer. I
don't even like someone sitting in front of mine, to Google something,
because they're too lazy to walk back to theirs. So I'm very spoiled
computer-wise. Now if I only had the money so I could do rec.ponds and
watch TV from a wireless laptop, like my son does his computer work...

Some of us had to trade our DSL networks for two puters wired up with baling
twine and 44.2 k on a good day.
It really bugs me too.

Somehow I still have trouble putting all of my faith into an AV
program

You are right. New virus come out daily, no AV program can catch all
of them. Personnally, I don't use any AV program. When in doubt, I
just launch Debug.exe for native code virus, WordPad.exe for script
virus.

Besides, as someone else said, why buy new if your old one still
works?

I got the current computer at year 2001, with Windows ME, remain as
that to now. Will not get a new one as long as it still can play those
computer games that I want to play. g

And to bring this back around to ponds, if we don't spend the money
on
new computers and high speed access, it's more monye we can spend on
the
important things in life like our ponds!

Most of the ponds I'm plan for will for edible freshwater fauna,
included edible frog. But one of it will for goldfish, just for fun.

I'm lurking in this newsgroup to have an idea what option are
available to keep my operation cost down.

Wong

sucks doesn't it... in addition to being an admin, I run quite a few
mailing lists, each having serveral addresses associated with them
(list-owner, list-request, list-approval, etc) and have has this email
address for a *long* time. I still get tons of spam, but CMU finally
put a filter on it that scans and rejects messages infected with a
virus. I know you're not kidding about the 1000/hr. Fortunately i
read this on a unix box.

Duke has an email scanner sitting in front of their mail servers. Once
the virus files get updated (I usually get a bunch before the virus
eradicators catch up with the the little s#*ts who write the viruses), I
get messages from the scanner sayign ym email has been quarantined.
Same quantity - just no viruses in most of it.

Most people don't know about "image email verifiers" that have the
html mail fetch an image name which uniquely identifies the email
address as having being opened, and thus a verified valid email ripe
for more spam.

Well, it's used for more than just that and often, by legit businesses,
not to verify a live address for spamming. There, it's used to track
what you have done - whether you have clicked thru embedded links,
opened the email in the first place, etc. My preferred email package,
Mulberry, doesn't permit this. *grin* (Philip - IIRC, Mulberry came
out of CMU originally, I think they recently moved their headquarters to
Baum Boulevard.)

I'm disappointed with outlook not having some of the outlook express
features.... like "don't respond in original format" and "read only in
plain text".

I *hate* any and all forms of Outlook. Almost all of the viruses that
hit the university originate from an Outlook infection and get spread
via unpatched Outlook installations. If you want to contemplate just
how bad an outbreak of a virus can be in a univeristy think of it like a
kindergarten class in a large school where one child comes in with a
cold.....

My main home machine is a 400MHZ Pentium II laptop.... it does nearly
everything i need it to do. (it is not great at streaming large video)
I have a few more power machines, but they've been off for a while.
I like the laptop portability. (we *love* our wireless network
connected to our DSL!)

The s.o. uses the laptop on the wireless network at home all the time.
I prefer my desktop system simply because I like having a large monitor.
However, I like to play/surf on the internet with my wireless Palm
Tungsten C. *grin* My laptop with wireless is a 200 mhz and I have ne
desire to upgrade it simply because I can't remember the last time I had
it out of its bag. If I want a workhorse wireless laptop, I "steal" the
s.o.'s.

No. And even if they do, it may not be available.

Case in point: My family went on vacation this past week. My wife
made the hotel reservations and made certain the hotel had dataports
in most rooms - even made sure we got one of those rooms. When I
hooked up my trusty 300 Mhz laptop I discovered their interpretation
of 'Dataport' was limited to 2400 baud. Yes, we complained.

Yes their post was in HTML which is a newsgroup no no. I got the same
message when replying. All you need to do is to highlight your text and go
up to format and hit plain text and itll change your post to plain text. You
can simply reply in HTML which I think is the modern way of doing things,
but some people get all uppity if you dont use plain text.

Why. I dont know, doesnt everyone have a cable modem and new PC nowadays
anyway?

Someone once asked if there was a universal interface for virus and
worms and such. The reply was , "Sure. OE."
