Ha Ha!
No viruses on this computer & it's online 24 hrs a day.
The only problem this computer has is tons of spam...up to 30 unwanted emails/day which I could easily rectify by changing my email address but I just don't want to change it...nor have I found any of the spam blockers to work unless you don't mind them blocking your real emails as well.
If I have to go through my deleted email to check & be sure it hasn't blocked someone, I may as well check through them every morning & scrap the crappie software.
I suspect my computer works as well as anyone here & it's 7 years old, Windows 98, 350mhz & I've never had it go down in those 7 years...why buy a new one?
With the complaints & problems I hear on this forum I don't consider the new technology better...but then again I don't consider the new 600ft/lb Cummins better than my First Gen either Norm!
