  • Online Groups

People need help learning how to use it. People selfishly bend or break rules. At times, I wonder, “Why am I do I bother?” Then I find…

Yeah, cell phones are small. Lots of digital cameras are so small they can…

  • Tenth of Email Infected

    Virus and worm writers suck… This stuff gets really annoying really quickly. The latest worm picks on Microsoft SQL server. Don’t think we have many installations here.
