Ohh cool. I know where that is. I have been there. My sister used to live between Manchester and Tullahoma. Right around the corner from the Normandy Dam. That is an awesome area. Too far for me to afford though. *shrug* "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood"..........but hey, I love to see a good Clothesline once in a while

Glad that worked. You lucked out big time. Usually you are looking at complete loss of data when that happens. I would love to get a MAC some day. Not to use as I do my PC, but so I can make better graphics on. MACs are famous for making excellant graphics. I also want Linux to. So i guess I better save up so i can buy two more computers. :D--> "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood"..........but hey, I love to see a good Clothesline once in a while

I will tell you what works very well. A simple home Cable/DSL router. For those of you with either. The router has basically blocked me from anything coming in, because it makes my PC part of an internal network, and therefore the IP of my computer is not something that can be reached from the outside. The router also has a basic firewall built into it. I also have Zone Alarm Pro, that has Mail Safe, and pop-up protector. Plus it will stop outbound programs I don't want going out. Norton takes care of the rest. Also a neat program called Spy Sweeper. It looks for worms, and other Spyware on your computer. Very cool program!! So I have not gotten the virus, nor even had any of my ports hit. But just in case last night I had the router block ports 4444, 135, and 69. Which are the ports it looks for. I am on a cable modem and use Win2K Pro, but I feel extremely protected right now. Get the router even if you have only one computer. It will take out a lot of stress. Believe me.

That sounds awful. :(--> Definately looks like you may have lost the OS on the computer. That indeed will cost him all his data on the computer. Argg, I hate to see that. It has happened to me before as well. Very disasterous. By the way, I use Win2K on both of my computers here at home. Actually the Compaq I put away. I built a computer from scratch, that has a 2.2Ghz P4 a 40GB and a 20GB hard drive. I have every port and slot filled on this machine, and have been running it constantly for a year. Not one crash, not even a dent! Win2K is really not as hard as some of you think it is. I will probably wait several more years before even thinking of switching to another OS. I started with 95, then the 98 upgrade, which was ok, then went to ME. Damned if I didn't have constant problems with that one. ME cannot handle resources at all. If you get too many programs running at once, it doesn't matter how much RAM you have, it is going to slow to a crawl, and die on you very quickly. Only a complete reinstall will solve the problem temporarily. Not worth it at all. I decided to trust Win2K at the time since my work computers handled it, and there was no resources to contend with. We always had several programs running hard, and the OS ran like a champ. XP by the way, is kind of a home user version of Win2K. Which is why they are so compatible. Another thing I hate about XP is their piracy protection. If I wanted to install it in both of my computers, I would have to have 2 licenses. That really sucks.

No prob. :)--> August is also the time of year that I Trek up to Atlanta for this big ole Sci-fi convention. :D--> No I am not that deep into scifi, except one series. I run security for one of the guests there. She works for us in the wrestling fed as well.

Considering I am a long way away from Illinois now, and even further from Minnesota, I don't think I will make it. Might be nice though. Hope everyone has fun. :)--> "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood"..........but hey, I love to see a good Clothesline once in a while

I believe I took an Intermediate Class there in 92 or 93. Gawd, I barely remember anything. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood"..........but hey, I love to see a good Clothesline once in a while

Ahh yes, I was at their wedding. Dr. Don was there as well. I was in their fellowship only a short time until I moved to Chicago in 97. Are they still in? "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood"..........but hey, I love to see a good Clothesline once in a while

I was in Illinois at one time. Peoria, then Bloomington, then finally Schaumburg. Was in 93-98.... "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood"..........but hey, I love to see a good Clothesline once in a while

Well, I guess I will make this my first post, even though I have been lurking since WayDale. I just never have much to say. heh! This name is mostly due to the fact that I work for a wrestling federation.
