a safe is more secure than a wallet/purse, but much less functional.
a tank is more secure than an Porsche, but isn't nearly as much fun to
drive.

a fencepost is smarter than.....but not nearly as much fun to torture.

My hubby Ringmaster is never satisfied with anything. If there would
be nothing to complain about, he would still complain!

malakies....

The only reason vista doesn't get infected that much, is because you are
spending time trying to fix - configure it all the time...
No time to actually do something in order for it to get infected!

Hey FRANK... YOU SUCK! lol

Go take your fur-ball 4 legged girlfriend for a stroll instead of trolling
in here for a change!

Can't hand facts or the truth? Oh, that's typical of fanboys, fools
and idiots. Which are you?

fanboys?!

If by that you mean someone who sort of looks for the good things and
neglects the bad ones, I must admit, I was one regarding Microsoft. I mean,
things used to get better. Remember the crashes in Win97? Did you get the
chance of meddling with Win3.11? Every version was just plain better than
the previos one, no question. Vista brought an end to that venerable
tradition.
