I did not mean to imply that all people who use the internet to meet others are freaks, or that all people how engage in virtual sex on the internet are freaks. But, people how use the internet to prey on others are. Along with all other the other rapists, child molesters and pedifiles out there in the world.
I think this shows us something about the society that we live in. Though I don't agree that all internet users a sex craved maniacs, you do have to be careful out there. There are freaks everywhere in life. You just have to know how to protect yourself.
My question is: Can Microsoft be held legelly resposible for allowing this to happen. It is there neglegence in writting programs that allows Word macro virii like Mellisa in the first place. I can't think of anything better than seeing MS get into more legal trouble, but there is also the issue of what kind of precident this would set. If MS were to get sued for writting bug/feature filled software than so could everyone else.
There a many mini distributions of Linux out there that contain the bare minimum of what you need to get the system up and running. You can also take a look at what is contained in the A disk set of slackware. www.linux.org also contains a list of distributions including a lot of the minuature one.

Actually, I do remember a MS parody not long ago at all. The one about the installation time of Windows, or more appropriatlty, the Microsoft Minute.

I can't even begin to count how many times I've seen FMJ and 2001. You've done good Stan, you'll be missed.
