computerectomy

--disclaimer-- i am only a very minor computer geek, however.....


i'm using something called MT-newswatcher right now; no worms, virii,
greek equines etc. some quirks, but nothing worse than anything else
i've used. shows pictures beautifully, and i've been able to post pics
with no problem (other than doing it so infrequently that i keep
forgetting how...)

the browser of choice on the machine is firefox; no popups, no
malignancies so far. (also available: IE, netscape, safari, and some
stuff i don't recognize. mozilla seems fine.) (yes the computer's owner
is a graphics dude who creates web pages.)

carrier is comcast, giganews, i use comcast's mail utility for my
personal account.

caveat: this is a mac G5. YMMV.
