youre missing out on a lot of content mike. im not familiar with your level
of computer competency, but with all the antivirus scanners available today
(many good ones are FREE such as http://grisoft.com) theres no valid reason
(beyond personal fears) to avoid zip files. most will scan files within the
zip anyway so it would catch any issues before you could execute anything
malicious/suspicious anyway.

Exactly.

Btw, aren't you / weren't you a welder by trade? Or was that just a hobby?

You are quite right, I was improper in my chastisement.

That last time I was in your area was the last week of June 2004 which for
other reasons was not the best time in my life and my recent trip via
De-troit across the lake hasn't improved my opinion of big cities or that
particular area of the US.

I cannot accurately comment on the current pollution situation, but I am
familiar with the incident when the fire department was called when the
river was on fire <g>.

I have no valid excuse for my obstinate comment. My only explanation is that
my current attitude has nothing to do with you and was uncalled for
..

No harm, no foul right? No bigee.

I'm not especially fond of American cities either. For all our wealth and
prosperity, and the ridiculously young age of our nation, most of our major
cities leave something to be desired. Check behind the facade and they are
just a little bit disappointing.

Now someplace like Japan for instance....shoot, even their homeless have
more class than ours. ;)
