CURIOUS, GEORGE: FIREWALLS .. Being somewhat stumbling in the I.T. arena, I am seeking advice from 'Monkeys' as to what would be the most efficacious Firewall software for the O.Systems of W-2000, WXP-Pro and W-ME. One also runs Linux. The separate systems are, unfortunately, necessary. Advance appreciation to all of such limber lucidity.

Multiple Personalities. "Each alter is designed to do a job and only that job. It is endowed with characteristic traits which the Original Personality would have taken on, if it were in charge.

CELTS 'R' US, BEGORRAGH! .."Early Gaelic ollamhs (professors of history) and scribes recorded the actions of the kings and the provincial nobility of Ireland who supported them; and, after the mission of St. Patrick, the leaders of the Church.

Ideas, suggestions (for bird names!) from MonkeyFilter denizens will be greeted with glad cries.
