Thanks for the answers. Especially from Doppy, as that must have taken some time.

Okay, I shoulda' bought a Mac. Uh,...but what's a Mac?

Unfortunately I have to be fully compatible with my clients, so a Mac would not have cut if for me. Now back when I was a hippie...

As for the porn stuff, yes I know I won't go blind, but I would hate to get my webmail off of a client machine, and then have their their corporate snooping software see me as porn recipient. Same goes if my laptop is tied into their system. It is such pesky stuff!

I am also interested in knowing how to track an IP address, and at the same time keep my IP address from becoming known [though I don't why I would want to hide it, since right now everyone can see it]. I guess I am just finding this security and anti-virus stuff interesting. I've only been hit with a couple viruses in the past. The Anna Kournikova one and the I Love You one [which I think was also called Melissa]

Thanks in advance,

M8
