Somewhere around here i have an old IBM luggable computer - the kind with the lid that flips back and becomes a monitor - black background with VERY green letters. It's so old that it does not have Windows at all, and yet there are programs that work on it adequately. > > If you google in speech marks like so "DOS > Firewalls" it will look for the exact phrase . . . > Thanks for the reminder.

Thank you. Soon, it seems as though half the most frequently used programs on my computers will be tasked with 'safe computing'. > > >Speaking of the word "backup" - what do people here > do about backing up their systems? > > Pray > > I suppose I need to do one - I used to do daily or > weekly > Now 3 monthly - hey maybe systems are more reliable > or I am more prepared to lose stuff . . . I think i am more prepared to lose data than before.

That will remove the person from your contact list. Then, when they next send you a message, you should receive a prompt asking if you wish to receive a message from someone not on your contacts. You can then decline. (Note - you may also need to check your ICQ options to make sure that you are configured to be prompted when messages come in from people not on your list.) > Maybe it is time to go over to jabber? > > What we are going to do is have a java chat (with > this forums chat) This would be fun - and if people wish to ( and if they have their mics installed ) it could be done with speech. :) > at a time of your choosing (and everyones agreement) > then we will publicise that AND then decide on > another time and place > and maybe forum and publicise that (perhaps in other > places) Ah, we are back to the notion of a Moveable Feast - very good. I like it. I missed CurlChat on Friday morning - sorry about that. > > Soon we will have as many as 5 people chatting away > . . . > > Lobster > Thanks for the tech tips. love and peace, joyce PS - I downloaded the spyare program using FireFox. Faster than IE. BUT, Firefox is not set as a default to auto prompt for file save destination folder. If you download and it starts saving without prompting, click cancel and then click options, and you will see near the top a radio button to click to enable file save location prompting. > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
