I know
...that I am rare, but still I exist.

As for locking down a Windows box for the internet, I don't believe it can be done. Yes, I think one can do their best. However, even with the most cautious steps taken, infection (adware, spyware, virus) is a page away just by connecting to the net.

My goal when I started was, and still is, to help the consumer obtain a reliable computer that will serve all of their needs. Not, what fills my wallet. I get thank you's every day because of this. How many can say the same?
