Internet Explorer and Homeland Security

Hi, All

I know most of you have already seen this article but I wanted to pass
it along anyway, just in case. Apparently the U. S. Homeland Security
Computer Emergency Readiness Team has recommended, for security reasons,
users use browsers other than MS Internet Explorer. It deals with lack
of protection/vulnerabilities in IIS 5 Server programs which a team of
hackers are using to steal personal information, etc.

Anyway, you can see the article on Yahoo!News sight under "Technology -
TechWeb".

Oh yea, Microsoft assures everyone that they are on top of this issue
and are working with law enforcement to fix the problem, yadda yadda yadda.

Higher kindness is kindness with out
effort to be kind. Simply a gift.
Indulgence in positive emotions
brings good fortune.
You may achieve a temporary gain
by worrying the matter to its bitter end,
but the long term price you pay for this 
will be great.
It is wiser to simply let go.
