Agreed. I have a wireless card on my laptop, but I intend to keep
downloads to a minimum. If I find a useful piece of software I just
have to have, I'll download it with the desktop, scan it for viruses,
put it on a thumb drive, and then install it to the laptop. You
can't be too careful.

Jeremiah 29:11 - 14 A .
11 For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are
plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me
in earnest, you will find me when you seek me. 14 I will be found by
you," says the Lord.
