Just a suggestion... when you are connected to the web all of the time, you are
in jeapordy of someone getting acces to all of your data. You have an IP address
and you "on the net" if you have your files shared, you will allow anyone to be
able to share with you. You should check with your DSL providor to ask how you
can protect yourself from letting othrs get access to your computer. It is only
when you are ona a dedicated access line. Just a suggetion for those of you
interested in this area. With the speed of acess comes concers.
