Greetings, all...
Just heard on the news this morning of a new "Worm" that is infecting Windows 2000 users...the worm can allow hackers to highjack your computer and steal any and all info that you may have, and also disable your PC for good...updates are available at the windows download page to help to protect your stuff...Heads up!

2000? XP SP2? Hah... I'm still using good ol' 98SE.











....yeah, that means I can't afford XP. Why in the crap does the full version still cost $200 some years after it's release?
