Omg, then you all are light years ahead of this ol' granny!!! i only hooked to the cyber world for the very first time in June..my kids came over to use it more than i did the first few months...but i think one of my boys was going to some pretty unsavory sites, cuz he'd come runnin up here whining that the ol' computer was crashing...LOL...if only i'd known...i sent him home and told him to go buy his own computer to ruin...but alas, i think it was too late...this new one seems to be doing just fine, and the kiddies can just go get their own, but don't be surprised if i keep coming up with more silly problems that you all know are just common sense!!!
