I heard about those steriods, that is true what he is saying,, a few other types are the same they just take about 7 months to take effect.

**Green Tribe** · 27/04/2005, 1:19 AM

Ok, maybe I better tell you that I was joking incase you're loading up a shotgun or something!

I don't know about those steroids at all, but I did hear they had such an effect, but I don't know! I am a student but not a student nurse thank God!

Would not be a job for me at all, no way!

Forgive me , i couldn't resist!

This is also a feature available in IE running on XP with SP2
People are so quick to knock MS products just for the sake of it.
I've been running FireFox and IE for a while now and there is no significant advantage to FireFox.
The whole tabbed windows thing is not enough of a selling point to win me over.

for an educated view on this, i shall tell ye what to do

for daily browsing sirhamish and those dodgy sites you were telling me about before that you go into, use firefox. its simple and easy to use, looks a little more basic than IE. If you however want to use streaming video/tv/radio etc that require plug-ins (latest), but that you know are safe sites then use IE. IE uses approximately 8-10,000kb of virtual memory and sometimes can really slow things up if you have multiple windows open, firefox uses very little however.

**paul_oshea** · 27/04/2005, 9:28 AM

forgot to add there, you should get the latest ad-adaware, and if you are using IE, install microsoft anti-spyware.

my pc was fooked with spam, still somewhat is, but i have switched to firefox and its going 90, if i revert back to IE the whole computer freezees if i open more than 2 windows....

Hey Paul O'Shea, man, I appreciate all the data and sincerely mean this with no intention of insulting you, but I haven't a fcuking clue what all that above means. Is the IE bit the same as the sirhamish@iolfree.ie - those letters at the end?? I'm relatively new to all this internet thingy and have come up with my own solution to spam. I managed to arrange ALL emails to go directly to DELETE (I think I used the message bit to do this). Then, when I check the emails I slide (you know what I mean, right click/left click) the ones I want into inbox and fcuk all the rest into the delete ether where they belong.
I got three emails for Viagra today - is somebody trying to tell me something?? The prices they charge for all the medicines in the emails were massive, by the way - $200 etc
But, importantly, in the very first post, above, in asking for help, where I mentioned that I was waiting an email from my godson (Shakedown) from China - he came through loud and clear today, with photo attachments and all! He already has a sceal which I'll add after this. Cheers.

**Schumi** · 27/04/2005, 4:24 PM

'IE' is Internet Explorer, Microsoft's programme for viewing the internet. If you look at the top of your screen, you'll see 'Foot.ie - Outlook express - Microsoft Internet Explorer' if you're using it (more than likely). Paul is suggesting an alternative programme, Firefox, which will do pretty much the same thing.

**hamish** · 27/04/2005, 4:53 PM

Schumi - thanks, man. I'm really sorry to be such a pest about all this but, honest to God, I'm really trying to get the hang of all this siht and it's driving me nuts, to be honest. I'll get there eventually. Thanks to all you decent folks for your incredible patience - I really mean that!

By the way, with reference to the godson, I'll load (is that the right word?) the email of place in China where he is. I'm sure some of you folks are interested in Karate - he's doing some class of advanced Karate course there and some of you might like to see the place - he showed me the website before he left. Also, the karate he's doing is called (PHONIC SPELLING) =
**** - ooo - reeeo and he has something called a second dan in it.
So there ya have it - I'll give that sceal he emailed me in a while. Cheers.

dunno if uve solved ur problem.

since outlook is just a program for downloading email from another server u can use another program to access ur email and this blocker program wudnt have any influence over.

if u know the mail server just goto www.mail2web.com and u can access any email account....

**hamish** · 27/04/2005, 5:23 PM

Thanks barglee, I'll make a note of that - and all the other advice. I'm think I'm pretty ok now - as I said, the emails from China came through and I've just sent one back, so something is fcuking working!!!!

**hamish** · 29/04/2005, 12:07 AM

Foot.iefriends - contact with the godson is aok now - thanks for all your help. That sceal I mentioned above - he's based near the city of (PHONIC SPELLING) Sigh-Ping. The day after he arrived, Shakedown (that's his nickname) and a couple of Aussies doing the course decided to hire a taxi to that city. Journey was 40 miles each way. TOTAL cost - equivalent of FIVE euros - for 80 miles. Anyway, the lads gave the driver a few "bob" extra in tips and he was so over-joyed that he offered to "introduce"

them to his daughters. Driver had surprisingly good English, by the way. I'll have the website name of the place Shakedown's in soon - he has only a limited time on the internet in the place so I told him not to rush.
