Beats the hell out of the random system shut downs that windows seems to allow. Now the worst that happens is the browser shuts down on certain mouse moves.

In any case if you're posting sensitive information DO NOT USE WINDBLOWS as it's riddled with back doors and straws that can be pulled to stop various functions from working.

*If anyone knows how to fix skype it would be great!
Thanks,

So i can pick up this chip at any best buy?

Where's the 'popular' post? or are you just being harassed in general.

By the way, Avalon, or at least posting, is terribly slow since yesterday in general, but it could be my connection. How many others are experiencing this?

At the risk of sounding paranoid, all my outgoing emails seem to take forever to go, almost as if they're being scanned first. Now, I know that my return email addy is a different DNS than the actual sending DNS, but until this last week or so, I havent' had a problem.

Yes, either get a thumb drive or get a bootable drive that takes SD or flash cards that your camera uses.

Make a copy or puppy CD so you can restore it when it too gets corrupted and DO setup the firewall. It's automated, but does seem to have holes, but nothing compared to windows.
(Backup your creations to a separate USB chip/thumb drive.)

Let me know if you have trouble.
