(hehe,

| Just a reminder that, whether you go with Cable or DSL connection at home,
| be sure to set up a firewall any time you have such an "always on"
| connection.  The "bad guys" are constantly seeking an open door to come
into
| a computer, and having your computer on a DSL or cable connection is like
| having it "shared" in Windows.  Lots of other folks can gain illegal
access
| to it.
