Double BullseyeSo how clever is it to infect two separate computers in one house with one email? Yesterday I received an email, which to AOL’s credit, they had dumped in the Spam folder.

My swimming schedule has become… click here to continue December, 20th, 2006 Take a BowCongratulations to you who are reading this. Take a bow, and I shall take one also. We are Time Magazine’s person(s) of the year. All users of and contributors to the world wide web were named by the magazine for this year. A novel idea! Thanks to my computer consultants, son and son-in-law, I can now sit with… click here to continue December, 18th, 2006 |
