Ed,

 EV> I am too cautious (paranoid?) to Always Allow every Safe Address, thinking
 EV> that even a popular web page/web site may get bit by Malware put on it by
 EV> a Black Hat Hacker (even for a short time) and my visiting that page would
 EV> allow the Black Hat Hackers GIFT to get in my computer.

  You have to "practice safe hex".

 EV> You know that I wasn't a normal person from reading messages that I
 EV> post.

  No comment...discretion is the better part of valor. <G>

 EV> I usually don't watch or listen to TV or Radio when the News is being
 EV> told about.

  You and me both. Now, the weather and sports, are a different matter.

 EV> I use Mailwasher free and Mozilla Thunderbird for Email.

  I registered MailWasher Pro a long time ago, and used the Courier Email
program, which I also registered. But, since I'm now with GMail, I don't
use those others anymore.

 EV> If I see an unwanted Email after I used Mailwasher to see if the Mail
 EV> Server has any for me I will go to the Web Mail site and delete that
 EV> message,

  I would just zap it with MailWasher...it did allow a "safe preview" of
the email.

 EV> I don't use the computer for any bsnking, If I want to buy something I
 EV> see advertised by a Companies internet page, I will call their toll
 EV> free number to see if they will accept my personal check for the item
 EV> and then send what I ordered when the check has cleared.  Works for me.

  I use the app on my smartphone just to check the balances. I rarely write
checks anymore...most of my transactions are done electronically.

 EV> Both of those things have crossed my mind, but I haven't desired to
 EV> shell out any cash to buy new things for the c=64.

  On the Multimode Digital Voice Net last week, on The QuadNet Array, the
question was on operating systems. When I mentioned that in the past, I was
running GT Power for dial-up under DOS 5.0 with DESQView and the QEMM Memory
Manager from Quarterdeck Software, you should've heard the "wipe the dust 
off that one!!" comments. <G> 

  Both Quarterdeck, who did QEMM and DESQView...and TeleGraphix, who did
RIP Graphics, are long gone out of business.
