Don's Patch #56 from http://www.don-guitar.com October 15, 2006
First word, from Don:
Lisa and I logged into Freelists the other day and scrolled through our
subscriber list and were extremely pleased by what we saw. We very
proudly fly the Flag of the World on our website because it means
something to us. We're citizens of planet earth who happen also to
be Americans and Texans-by-choice. Readers with dot com, dot net
or dot org addresses can be anywhere in the world but are some
addresses which contain 'built-in' clues, like dot uk, dot ca, dot nz,
dot au, dot za, or dot nl. Each of these appear in our subscriber base
so we know we have readers in England, Canada, New Zealand,
Australia, South Africa and the Netherlands and we get a tremendous
kick out of this and, for a special thrill, we found a small collection
of dot edu addresses among our subscribers. In most cases these
are professional educators and knowing that they subscribe to our
ezine is, for us, a heady compliment.
As always, we love hearing from you; compliments, commentary,
complaints or suggestions, we appreciate hearing whatever you
have to say.

Tip: Just because it's an extension made by Mozilla
doesn't mean Firefox will automatically install it. As with
all extensions, you'll have to approve it before Firefox

maybe I can help. I have two CDs of Windows Apps
that I carry with me when I travel or answer a call for
computer help. I keep them up-to-date as best I can.

============== Humor =============
Here's a funny little piece that Matt Kinsell sent
to the San Antonio, Texas Linux Users Group
email list (to which I greatly enjoy belonging).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:
1. They replicate quickly
Um, okay, Windows does that.
2. Viruses use up valuable system resources,
slowing down the system as they do so.
Er, okay, Windows does that.
3. Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk.
Well, okay, Windows does that too.
4. Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user,
along with valuable programs and systems.
(Sigh) Okay, okay, Windows does that, too.
5. Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect
their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will
buy new hardware.
Yeah, yeah, Windows does that, too.
So, superficially, it seems like Windows is a virus
but there are fundamental differences:
Viruses are well supported by their authors, run well
on most systems, their program code is fast, compact
and efficient and they tend to become more
sophisticated as they mature.
So Windows is not a virus.
It's a bug.

Last word, from Lisa:
Once again, we've gotten out the ezine and wonder, "So how
are we doing?" Anytime you're reading and enjoying (or not),
please consider writing a note via our contact page, here;
http://www.don-guitar.com/contactme.html
There's an option for remaining anonymous, if you prefer.
If you find you'd like more or less of something, or have
ideas which would get us off on a tangent--Yes!--we'd love
to hear from you. Our interests are eclectic and unpredictable.
We hope you enjoy that. Our readership is growing and we
appreciate every one of you. If you write to us we will
answer personally.
Thank you.
Lisa
P.S. This is so odd. Don and I write our portions of the
ezine separately and put them together at the last moment.
If you'll look at Don's opening statement and my closing,
they're quite similar and the sentiment is identical.
Think we spend too much time together? No such thing.

The most important people on the Internet, for you and I as computer
users, are software developers. The world's coolest computer, without
software, is like a car without fuel. It might look great, but what
can it do? It doesn't matter who produces the software you love and
use regularly, the developers of that software need your support.
A bit of advice from Internet veteran Bayard J. Fox:
New computer users are often in awe of the things you can get without
cost on the Internet. There can be hidden costs for the unwary. Use a
"throw away" email address to register, and be constantly on guard
against giving away personal information. Use a firewall, and provide
only the barest minimum of information on questionnaires.
