playBunny: yes playbunny,I know this but the Marauder.860.B and some of the new variants of the melissa class viruses make use of patching into this.
also the Marauder.860.B trailblazes for 2 spybots.
as I said,I learned the hard way.
Rose :
I was oing to test drive it,nusy with java stuff right now.
MagicDragon :
does it work on webtv?? dont know,few things do.webtv is so limited( no java)
I thought most people are avoiding MSN messenger.
there are ones with much better features.
and the fact that MSN messenger permanently leaves a port open makes it easy for spyware & viruses to get in.
I learned the hardway.then I reviewed tham all.I am using ICQ now,esp since it recently has new features:
buddy list can be imported from other messengers
messenger games
but my google lab buddies tell me googles new messenger leaves them all behind.
I havent checked it out yet.
renaming the extension doesnt convert the file totally,editing still needed. is there a way to convert the links in a exported bookmarks file,so that you get a list of the links alone.

as for characters,I saw a smallpop up utility that displayed all html characters & their ISO-latin numeric entry codes.it seemed to show ALL the new codes.tried to find it.cant ..8^(
...how about expanding it to list the best utilites to have.
I am looking for:
a good screen capture utility
a html to txt converter ( for converting bookmark favorite html exported files)
a html visual editor(does one exist?)
a "whats-the key code for the character I want" utility(does one exist?)
BIG BAD WOLF: thank you so much mr.wolf and everyone else for your advise.
can I ask one more question?
I find my self exporting a lot of favorites(bookmarks) to files.
does a utility exist that can convert a "bookmarks.html" file to a .txt or a .doc file?
Summertop: I would love an invitation to open a Gmail account,please.I use google labs often.

ScarletRose: I have noticed that there are new wanna-be computers(for lack of a better generic term)coming on the market.
I have often wondered why so many people use webtv,or buy video game systems.
because they are as expensive as buying a cheap or 2nd hand computer.
webtv & video game systems are so limited.
Rose: are better not only for graphics...but if you use a word processor(word or frontpage for example)a higher resolution= your can get more into your toolbars..if u use them a lot.
