Have they? Really? But the internet wasn't widely used until the 1990's...

Thanks for that
I have just installed it and will give it a try.
I opted for the professional version because it has a lot more features like auto updates.
If you need any "help" installing the Pro version then PM me

Always the same gullible PC users falling for the same old hoaxes. What's more amazing, though, is that these folks always seem unable to use Google to do a simple query into the legitimacy of the 'warning' their brothers' second cousin's wife's niece sent them.

Then again, it's a keen way the technology world has of having people identifying themselves as the kind that shouldn't have a computer.

Yet you choose to get narky at me!

November Rain · 11-12-2008, 09:02 PM

No-one else said they were redding her. You did. Elementary, my dear Baboon-butt.

Edit - and the first part of the above quote (up to 'So,...') was to all of the arrogant twats. Why'd you miss out Daffy Duck's? His was arrogant beyond belief.
Edit, again - no you didn't miss him out, you just didn't attribute what he said to him. Apologies.

So saying I'll red you is worse than the sarcasm, jokes about her intellect, the word knuts, comments that she should not be allowed to use computers ?

methinks you take the red/green game too seriously.
