    I agree with your opinion that the politicians are using the attacks to there advantage. I to some extent i agree that some freedom should be sacrificed (at the airport), but the carnivore system is going too far. Visit Ltpb.8m.com Looking for more tutorials?

    Never mind that. How do you stop internet programs from installing themselves to your computer with out even asking and redirecting your browser to random websites you did not even surf to? There aught to be a law....:mad: "No one ever went broke under-estimating human stupidity."

    I'm considering getting a new graphics card and I was thinking about getting a dual-head one, but then I'd have to buy another monitor too (at least 19), so what makes you think it is worth it? "Is it worth it" is a subjective question - it depends upon your circumstances and what you want to do. In our case, we were replacing a dead system, so we had a spare 15" monitor and SVGA card to plug into the new system, giving us a system with a 17" primary and 15" secondary monitors. When we upgraded to Win2000 the OS wouldn't allow the old card to be used as a secondary monitor, so we replaced it with an ELSA GeForce2 TwinView card, and it's now working fine (and we have a spare port for a third monitor if we want it...). IMHO being able to browse the web or run Visual Studio on one monitor while the app you're debugging is on another is something you've just got to experience to appreciate how useful it is. If you can, try it and see. :) I also have a specific question: I know that 3D acceleration only works on the primary monitor, but what happens on the secondary monitor when you play a game? I think it depends on your hardware (and drivers!) and the game you have - some are aware of dual monitors and use them, whilst others will just use the primary. I don't get the time to play games much, so I'm afraid I can't give any more detail than that. You should be able to get some answers by searching game sites on the web. Good luck.

    Welkom terug Chris. :-D While I am sure Toronto is colder than London we can both mourn leaving our hot southern beaches and sunny skies for a few weeks :(( I saw the sun yesterday for the first time, it was stuck up inside a travel agents window display with "Winter Holidays in Sunny South Africa!"...
