    It really seems like SPAM has been around longer than 20 (or 10) years. Lets see here... thats about 600,000 SPAM emails I've deleted. Now, tally the popups I've closed.

  5. Ironic on Netscape 6 is Spyware? · · Score: 1

    This is great publicity for Netscape. It's ironic that the "Get Netscape 6.2" banner occasionally shows up on Slashdot, yet there is an article about it having Spyware it in.

    Oooh, I want Netscape 6.2 (SARCASTIC STATEMENT)

  8. Suggestions on Computer Curriculum for Inner City Kids? · · Score: 1

    First, teach them basic computer skills.

    I would, in this order, teach them the following:

    1. Basic keyboard/mouse skills
    2. How to use the operating system
    3. The Internet.
    4. Various software packages (DB,word processing, etc.)

    Keeping their attention will be the tough part, so if try to incorporate some digital video/pictures or educational games into the curriculum.

    For instance, bring a digital camera/camcorder and take pictures of them. Set up email accounts for them and send the pictures to their accounts.

    Those are just some of my suggestions.
