The McAfee on-line subscription is nice for a laptop, because you can keep it running in the background, even when you're at a public port. It stops it before it can load anywhere. At home, I use Trend Micro's PC-cillian, because it's usually the most up-to-date. It updates definitions EVERY...

Yep, definitely check for a virus. Do you have a program? If not, check McAfee Free Virus Scan Maybe a site you visited. It wasn't me, I swear! My penguin world domination includes only land masses, not cyberspace! Good luck! Cathy

Heck, I consider Emma pretty darned scary! :eek: No, really Freya -- Halloween in the U.S. (at least for adults) is a reason to dress up in just about anything. Funny, silly, and even scary. And parents have tried to get the kiddies away from frightening stuff to protect their fragile...

My best Halloween costume was completely unintentional, but sublime. I bought a latex wolf head mask, one that goes completely over the head. I wore black leotards and a cape made out of fake sheepskin from the fabric store. I was a "wolf in sheep's clothing." But the humorous part came when...

Well, Gizmo, truly -- the only penguins I've seen here are images in the posts, but then, they like me. If you're not kidding, then I'd definitely check for a virus, 'cause that's a little weird... Cathy

Just read a super interview with him! Pay particular attention to the answer to question #2. Neal Stephenson interview

Wow! Proper usage of both "blingin'" and "sardonic!" You're my kind of guy, Ou Be Low hoo! Welcome once more. Cathy They stole my penguins, but I shall go on...

Well, my only excuse is that I'm new and wasn't aware of the group's obvious penguin discrimination... Sigh! But nobody was interested in chatting about books, after all. I've posted on a number of topics, and zilch. Perhaps it's merely my choice of genres (SFF, mystery and other "commoner"...

Oh, how misunderstood you are, SillyWabbit! If you'd just lie still, you'd see how soft and warm penguins can be (just ignore those batwings, really -- not evil, not evil at all!) Cathy The penguins give me strength! Long live the penguins...

Could someone tell me how to load a photo? I have a cute one, but can't get it to come up. Thanks! Sigh! :( Cathy

I agree. I thoroughly enjoyed Chaucer in Middle English. It took quite a while to figure out the rhythm, but the jokes were both more subtle and more bawdy that way. I think the translation discussion is quite interesting, since we are in the process of trying to sell our foreign rights...

Sure we take plastic, but only with recommendation of a known penguin. :eek: And we require three forms of ID for cash... Welcome! Cathy The penguins give me strength! Long live the penguins...

My hubby likes Counter Strike and Doom. I'm more a Hitman and Thief kind of girl! (go to dark places and kill things quietly... just like penguins. LOL!) Cathy The penguins are my strength. Long live the penguins...

Well, speaking from the perspective of 20 years of wedded bliss -- the wedding is the worst part! ;) It goes uphill from there... Cathy Let the penguins rock your world!

Well, *I've* been introduced, SillyWabbit, but who are you? (other than the scourge of decent, fluffy penguins everywhere... :mad: ) :p Cathy The penguins give me strength! Long live the penguins...

I love kittens! (A little salt, a bit of lemon juice . . . :rolleyes: ) Cathy The penguins give me strenth! Long live the penguins...

Bravo, ControlArms! Bravo, indeed. Come, gentle folk -- surely more of you can speak to the terrors of the night, (or of the evils that only penguins can do... :eek: ) Cathy The penguins give me strength! Long live the penguins...

No, no -- not disguised. They are our staunch allies! Penguins do know their limitations after all. They can't fly, but *squirrels* can! The costumes were . . . * * * * <whisper -- Oh, I'm not supposed to tell them that?? :eek: Oops.> * * * Ahem... (cough, cough) Yes, yes, they...

Sure. Flu - Gina Kolata Amazon link The Hot Zone - Richard Preston Amazon Link They've both written other similar books too, so check them out as well! Cathy The penguins give me strength! Long live the penguins...

Welcome! What sort of books do you like, and what PC games are you into? Cathy The penguins give me strength! Long live the penguins...
