Billy…..I’m ADDICTED!
The new computer has a game called “Spider Solitare.” You know, I just hate it when we get a new computer. Each time they send more games. Each time I spend an inordinate amount of time playing games on the new computer, until I manage to get it out of my system.
My niece was here last night, and she saw the new computer. I blushed and said I was playing games, and her eyes lit up. “Spider Solitare, right??” She already knew about it. She has a new computer, too. “Wait until you start playing with more than one suit.” That sent a shudder through me.
This all reminds me of an episode of Star Trek: Next Generation. Do you remember the “Parisi Squares”? I figure the writers of that episode must have seen the office workers sitting around playing games, and saw how insidious it was.
If you don’t see me for the next month or so, I’ll just be over here playing Spider Solitare….

Okay, Billy has given me good advice. He says to install a firewall BEFORE we hook up to the Internet. So that brings me to several questions.
I’m using Norton Antivirus 2004. Can anyone suggest a firewall that is compatible with that?
If I download a firewall on my present computer, can I copy the software to a CD and then install it on the new computer before we hook up to the cable modem?
I’m going to look into Mozilla as a browser for the new computer. Does Mozilla come with a firewall? I know…I know….I can go look this one up. I was just hoping someone would save me the time. *G*
Is there any other advice I need from you more experienced computer people before we go LIVE!?
