Since most of you members are a bit more in tune with what is happening
in the IT world I'm wondering what you think of the privacy concerns
being raised not only about Google but elsewhere. I'm reading about full
body scanners going into use at airports, surveillance cameras are
everywhere, there is talk of adding rfid chips to cars. I've heard (but
don't have direct knowledge) that you can surreptitiously add an ap to
iPhone so you can track the owner of it. Is it me or is the world
starting to leave Orwell's worst nightmare in the dust. It's bad enough
to trade freedom for safety but to trade it for the newest flashy
technology? If this topic is felt to be inappropriate for this group
then accept my apologies and feel free to close the thread.

It is my information that your cell phone company knows where you are
now, even if your cell phone is turned off. The only way to really
disappear into the woods is to take the battery out or leave their
service area (easy to do if you have a Sprint connection, like Virgin
Mobile does)

They told me that I needed to upgrade Windows. So I upgraded it to
Linux for free. For a free download, go to
