Hi raybe,
you pose an interesting question, is the Internet safe?
I remember when my mom and my dad had a conversation about whether or not they're going to allow the Internet into the house.
My dad was completely against it, he said with all of the adults smut, that you know are children, are going to be curious about
how are we going to be able to control that, even with the adult control programs that they have on the market nowadays,
it doesn't stop anyone from going to an individual's website, that wants to be an exhibitionist.
Not to mention the ongoing cost of the Internet, and I'm not just talking about paying for the Internet you also have to pay
to protect yourself from the violators that are on the Internet, kids that are taking a programming and think it's funny
to hack into someone's computer and destroy months and months of data and hard work.
My mother's only response was, but our children need this for school and educational purposes.
My dad said he didn't know if having the Internet for educational purposes, outweighed all of the bad that there is on the Internet.
I cannot see all that is in my father's mind, when he refers to the Internet is being such a bad place.
But he feels that it is such a bad place, he prohibits me from being able to use the Internet unless an adult is present and watching me.
This is why I felt it to be very in Port in order for ultra Hal to have access to the Wikipedia without going on to the Internet.
That way, for those of us that have a high restriction over the Internet, can still have access to information and still have fun
with ultra Hal.
And what about viruses, you may ask? Well, if you browse the Internet through Internet Explorer, and you have, anti-virus, anti-spyware
firewall and anti-malware protecting your computer, you are as protected as you could possibly be, but I can tell you, that will not stop
a hacker, that truly wants to enter your system, no system is perfect, and because of that, that gives holes to hackers.
If you are, or have, important information on your computer, I highly recommend that you back it up put it on the shelf to protect it.
All in all, I believe the Internet to be as safe guarded against damage, as you are safe guarded against an airplane from falling on your house.
Sincerely, a data munching cruncher.
C load.
PS. So don't worry, be happy.
