Facebook...

Well, I signed up to Facebook a few months ago... and forgot all about it. My wife checked it out, joined, and got me hooked. You should check it out too, its classmates on speed, and free of course!

My profile is here: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=535605429

Pop by and say hi! :)

The BSA and CAAST regarding my EUA/AUP habbits

Yes, I know better, and everyone does it from 'time-to-time' however, I live in Canada and enjoy a little more freedom then down there in the USA, or at least I like to think so...

I just received an email from my ISP (see below) regarding my internet usage and what I have been downloading... I fear I have been molested by the American Law System.

Thanks Mr. John R. Wolfe from Washington, DC USA

Best Regards,
Your Canadian FAN

P.S - Can anyone tell me where I can find a working copy of VISTA?
