There was a recent newspaper article about bson, and now when I google his name, at least 11 pages of results appear! Not of him, exactly, but key words from the article now have his name linked to dozens of other sites and blogs. Amazing.

Astonishing and sickening. I broke my home computer again (I think it has swine flu), so I'm off the grid until the morning. Confused

Ended up it was not as serious as first appeared. We just had some friendly Adware. Weird, though, I guess since cookies were enabled, the adware knew exactly what to show us. We had been looking at colleges, so financial aid and college search companies appeared. We disabled cookies and downloaded a spyware/adware program to scan the computer. Everything's now good to go!

But, since the computer only acts up (software or hardware) after I've been the last one to turn it off or on, I'm staying away from it at home for a while to see if it's just me that jinxes it. Rolling Eyes

I'll let someone else take the fall next time.
