The people at webtv watch everything you do on your computer, Harry. If you don't mind being exposed to them they do it all for you and watch your every keystroke as well. If you don't mind the lack of privacy and the occasional asshole for an employee who will actually tamper with your website it's a great system. Also join the army and visit Iraq! |
