:-) GOLFING
A Scot and an American were talking about playing golf during the various seasons of the year. "In most parts of the USA, we cannot play in the winter time. We have to wait until spring" the Yank said.
"Why, in Scotland, we can even play in the winter time. Snow and cold are no object to us." said the Scot.
"Well, what do you do; paint your balls black?" asked the American.
"No," said the Scot. "We just put on an extra sweater or two."
EVER WONDERED . . . ?
Instant Messaging (IM) - a text-based computer conference over the Internet between two or more people who must be online at the same time. When you send an IM the receiver is instantly notified that she/he has a message.
What Are Firewalls ?
With some simple precautions we can safely enjoy the Internet and guard against unwanted viruses and other intrusions, much like locking the front door when we leave the house.
A firewall is a barrier which will keep unwanted intruders from ever reaching your computer. As mentioned in last month's issue, anti-virus software is a must for any Internet user, and will remove viruses which have already made it onto your computer. A firewall is a first line of defense. It works by checking the information coming into your Internet connection and filtering out potentially harmful material before it downloads onto your computer.
A firewall can be a hardware device or a computer program. Big businesses have powerful, expensive firewalls to protect their information and their customers, but there are also many excellent firewalls designed specifically for home use. Many domestic broadband modem/routers come with an inbuilt firewall.
Firewalls for home users may not have the grunt of one used by a Swiss bank, but they have become a low cost way of providing an excellent level of protection for the home computer. In the same way that a burglar will target an unlocked home over one with deadlocks and an alarm, Internet criminals find it easier to infect unprotected home computers than those with firewalls and anti-virus software. Don’t leave home without one !
