Here's a scary (true) story: A friend of a friend has some minor qualifications in IT and actually teaches something to do with computing at a local Technical College. He said to me "I told my brother, uninstall that firewall from your Win XP, because all it does is attract attacks". I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or slit my wrists. Even the newbiest newby on this list is one of the educated elite. Most people have absolutely no clue. None. They don't even know what they don't know. Whichever OS people use, it must be secure out of the box, and it must update itself automatically. Otherwise some pimply-faced youth will get a couple of million zombies together and bring down the whole damn 'net. Richard -- Art is not a reproducible result. Creativity is a profoundly subjective act.
