I could just imagine someone seeing me [just like the student was who inspired this post]. Who is going to believe my story about motherboards?	future (1979)

Many people want to filter Spam for example but we haven't come up with a program that will do that all by itself. You, ( or Family ) have to create rules of some sort. I am reminded of the TV.. If I get offended by what is on there I use the OFF button or change channels. Remember that you can access heaps of information in this day and age. People blame the Internet for this but in MY day and age I could learn how to make an Explosive in my local library. Do we ALL want to protected by the Goverment from BAD things or is it time we just used the OFF button?	Elephant (599)

We use WatchDog at the college I'm at, they're an ISP that blocks the stuff. When we needed to get an image at the start of the year we used images.google.com, then that got blocked so we used images.google.co.nz, now we have to use images.google.co.uk. We had to use newsgroups for one part of the course we were doing. We had to hunt around until we found one that wasn't blocked. Other times you can end up with stuff their that should not be allowed.	-=JM=- (16)
