I know what you mean cmuskett. I'm just now beginning to learn about PHP, and Html still eludes me. When I first got in to computers, I wanted to know how to hook two computers together and make them talk. I made it my #1 priority, and I worked on it for hours and hours. Of course, this was also in the days of dos and not long after I started doing it, windows 3.1 . It was fun, I'll tell ya. Anyway, that's what I studied, and eventually I learned enough on my own to get a Network Administrator position at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. I kept up an 85 computer network, and ran the help desk as well.... I didn't have time to study all the other stuff....so here I am...dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to writing script, or anything of that nature.....but I'm working on it...... ImaD

I hear ya my friend. If I had my way, Linux would be on top of the heap.....but alas, I'm stuck in a MS AOL world.. The other problem is that people d/l the programs you were just talking about, and think they're protected. They don't learn how to set it up properly, and then when something happens they blame who ever they got the software from. About a month ago, a friend of mine got a virus on his machine for about the 3rd time in as many mos., so I had him bring his machine over and I installed AVG and set it up to run automatically, and to upgrade every 3 days...you know...all the bells and whistles....a week later he had another virus because it had come on once when he was doing something on his machine, so he just disabled it. Then he called me to say my software was crap! Mad!!! Oooooo.,...... Anyway, I just kinda mosey along, and do the best I can...... ImaD

Well, I run Linux most of the time now when I'm not working on a web site, so I'm free of about 99% of the BS I used to have to worry about ... ImaD

Yeah, but Borfast, you forget one thing. We're getting older and it's harder to figure stuff out the older you get. At least I've found that to be true. Granted, I spend countless hours reading and trying to learn more, but I have also made my living in computers off and on over the years. The average person doesn't even know where to start looking.....you come from the "new" age of 'puter users, and you take much for granted.......then again, I could be totally wrong! woooot ImaD

You can always un-install IE, and then go to the windows Update page and re-install it. If you don't have a broadband connection it will take you a while though......but I had a problem similar to that once before and that's what I ended up doing. If it weren't for web site building, I wouldn't even have IE anywhere near my 'puter though... Head Bash It drives me nuts most of the time when I use it......and if I could afford "Dream Weaver", I'd throw FP away too! ImaD

Well, I'll have to admit that in the past I have had some things I didn't want come creeping in to my 'puter. For the past year though, I haven't had anything slip past my defenses. Of course, I have a Linux gateway and firewall now that I didn't used to have, and I'm also more careful of where I send my browser. My settings when I use IE are turned up to the max, and I've got filters out the yeng yang on my e-mail. It's a shame that you have to be so careful, but as long as there are people surfing, there will be others trying to feed off them...........just keep your heads up, and wait for that next Ad-aware release!
