Well, don't everyone quit posting just cause I'm back!

Welcome Sharon! And since you already let us know who your Hero is, here's a couple just for you! Click and HERE

Hey, Sudo (and everyone else) Last couple weeks have been realy busy, so I haven't been able to keep up here much. Loved Casablanca though. Definetly high on my top ten list! :)--> KRYS! Where you been? Good to see you here again! I replied to the private topic...if it doesn't work right, let me know! And come around here and play with us again! Rick

(deleted cause the post I was posting about was deleted)

Wordwolf is right. A router will only close incoming ports. You may still be susceptible to trojans and malware and other nasty stuff. A firewall on the other hand, will detect and block unwanted activity. Although they can be a pain in the foot at first (constantly popping up asking if you want to allow this or that to access the internet), once rules have been properly configured, they pretty much just sit there and "guard the gate". I don't know much about the free ones, as one of my clients has provided me with symantec client security. I DO know I hate zone alarm with a passion. I've had to fix too many computers for people who didn't have it all closed down before they uninstalled it, then to find out they had no internet access. But maybe they've changed that in the last year or so. For those that have the interest, you can take an old computer and run a linux firewall/router for just the cost of an old machine. Doesn't even need a hard drive, runs on a floppy. If anyone's interested in setting one up, let me know, and I'll try to help get you started. OK, done rambling. :)--> Rick

Maybe I'm wrong, but I was thinking Jerry Lewis did a cover of Hello Muddah/Faddah...anyone remember anything like that? Rick

Was his name Brutus? I always thought it was Bluto. Rick

Anyone who knows me will realize that the quoted line here was a dead giveaway that I was kidding. :)--> Rick

And by the way....first note, so there!

Yeah, right! Don't try and change it now...you said me and you MEANT me. I don't believe it...my integrity has been brought into question playing a game on a stupid discussion forum! I'm outta here!

I actually take offense to that Sudo, as, I have NEVER answered a question that I googled the answer for without saying I googled. it. Rick

Female Popes??? Never knew they had any! Does that make them Pope-ettes? :)--> Actually, in answer to the thread title Catholics are: uh...people. Just like any other group of people. They are doing what they belive in and what they think is best before God, just like anyone else. I don't agree with thier doctrine, but then, I don't have to. Nor do they have to agree with what I believe in. Rick

Don't Look Ethel! :)--> Haven't heard that for a long time! Rick

Hiway29..I think THIS is the more popular song by that artist that you are thinking of. :)--> Rick

I don't know, I think Y'all have totally blown the original subject. Rick

I wouldn't have thought it physically possible, yet this thread both sucks AND blows. Rick(running and ducking) :)-->

That's kinda what I figured. Rick

Ok, since this was erected in 1984, I don't know which came first..the chicken or the egg. :)--> But there is the little bird on the guitar neck. Was that symbol already around BEFORE Charles Schulz came up with the Woodstock character, or after?

Yeah, the needle skip WAS classic, wasn't it! Rick

hiway29...I've seen some of that early stuff, and it IS great Good grief. :)--> Peanuts was such a wonderful comic strip! Charles Schulz brought a great deal of happiness to this world!

These were the two that I rememberd...although, not the long intro for the first one. I almost cut that out before I posted it, but then, I thought if I have never heard it, maybe the others here haven't either. :)--> Hiway29: Charles Schulz(spelling?) made a lot of "soft" political statements with Snoopy, that I LOVED! I rememeber when his birdie buddy Woodstock first came on the scene...it was really great! Snoopy was one of the best characters to come from the Peanuts cartoons...Next to Charlie Brown, of course. :)--> Rick

Excellor sessions for CF&S??? How come no one told me about those? Hey, I feel robbed now! :D--> Rick

These 2 should bring back memories! Click HERE and HERE! Rick

That one WAS good, wasn't it! Now, I guess THIS one qualifies as a novelty song! Rick

Yup Sudo, we do. :)--> Rick
