Life On The Net In 2004

Hmm... 231 new emails but your filters say that 217 of those are likely to be spam. Even though theyve been dropped into another folder youll still have to wade through them to make sure that you dont miss an important message that might have been accidentally sidetracked by the less-than-perfect software. Damn, it looks as if youve also received 5 new virus/trojan attachments as well and one of them was 20MB in size -- thats another $4 on your DSL bill. Suddenly a pop-up dialog box appears advising you that there are 2 new Windows Security updates that should be downloaded, totalling some 60MB in size (another $12 worth of traffic). You just know that downloading these updates will require you to reboot your PC and youre in a hurry so you hit the "cancel" button and fire up your web-browser to check the latest news headlines.
