Hal, was discussing the computer-licensing idea with a coworker who does sysadmin and websupport at his college. I agree wholeheartedly. I'm nowhere near as literate as many people when it comes to computers, but I'm appalled by how little I knew until some friends educated me after the first formatting on my box. When I buy a new box, it will be properly set up with far more secure programming, protection and firewalls. Just waiting on the old box's hardware to go out.
Right now I connect via AOL from my dad's girlfriend's computer until I get back to school and my sweet T3 connection. It's disturbing how much spyware/adware is on this computer I'm on, and how much crap her daughter has defiled their HDD with. It's a 2.4 ghz computer that loads slower than my 750mhz thanks to the amount of shit running autonomously in the background. It makes me want to kick somebody
