You have been a BBS User for a long time and I would had thought that You
know that I wasn't a normal person from reading messages that I post.

I usually don't watch or listen to TV or Radio when the News is being told
about.

I use Mailwasher free and Mozilla Thunderbird for Email.
If I see an unwanted Email after I used Mailwasher to see if the Mail
Server has any for me I will go to the Web Mail site and delete that message,

Before I Sign In to the Email option, I will see aome links to News Articles
and I may read the summary of a few of them and then go do what I wanted to
do, then I Sign Out and use Mailwasher to check Email again, and then
Get Email with Thunderbird and read the messages.

I don't use the computer for any bsnking, If I want to buy something I see
advertised by a Companies internet page, I will call their toll free number
to see if they will accept my personal check for the item and then send what
I ordered when the check has cleared.  Works for me.

Thanks for the idea.

I've learned about accessories being made for the Commodore 64 that have
a CAT-5 connector that I could run a cable from that to a port on the Router
to use the internet with the C=64.
And it might be the same accessory that has a SD Card slot built in on it.

Both of those things have crossed my mind, but I haven't desired to shell out
any cash to buy new things for the c=64.
