POPSNo Such Thing as Free Excellent excellent read / article. Especially that last couple of paragraphs regarding suggestions of hidden cost from cell phone companies legislation. Sounds good to me.

POPSTouch Screen Back in 1998/99, myself and a co-worker were brainstorming on computing ideas. We came up with an idea for a computer screen that would act like a kiosk of sorts, for the elderly. Realizing that there was a need to keep in touch and up to date with technology, it 'felt right' to bring something like touch screen for the elderly or those that could not type, into age (pun intended).

POPSFirefox 2.0.0.3 - Wassup? I have to wonder about this myself as my computer downloaded this fix twice and after the first automatic update installed, something went awry to the extent that it looks like the problem they were trying to fix.

POPSSpammers' Fake Newsletters - Slips by email filters It never ceases to amaze me how so many people find it challenging to destroy a good thing. The introduction of the www was meant to expand the universe and connect people. Not destroy and create havoc. The net has become a hacker and spammer's virtual world of mass destruction. OMG. I can't believe I just said that!! :))
