Net Not-Worth-It?

I just finished reading an interesting article in the Sunday Chicago Tribune titled "Fraud, hassles may put Net in not-worth-it mode." http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-0501020309jan02,1,5202344.story?coll=chi-news-hed It made a lot of good points. The amount of spam is unbelievable. I work at two technology related companies and still get an inordinate amount of spam that gets through and I don't give my work e-mails out to anyone. I use my Yahoo www.yahoo.com e-mail for all my incoming e-mail. It's really ashame that people are abusing this wonderful technology. Another thing I noticed in today's Chicago Tribune
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0501020313jan02,1,3367557.story?coll=chi-news-hed was the amount of assistance to the tsunami victims from the "free" world. Where's the contributions from Al Qaeda, the other communist and the anti-American countries? Just wondering. I got my calendars ready for January and February basketball practices and games. I'll keep one at work to make sure I don't forget. I still have to pick up a "Week-At-Glance" calendar from OfficeMax www.officemax.com . This is the weekend I normally start filling it up. The Bears finished their season with a loss to the Packers 31 to 14.
