Mistrust Microsoft products.  They are the core of the problem.  And there are
lots of alternatives that are free, and better, and faster, and lots smaller.

I make the offer again.  Anyone that would like help installing a non-Microsoft
browser, i.e. Mozilla, Opera, etc., or a non-Microsoft mail client, i.e.
Pegasus, Eudora, etc., please contact me.
