  12. Review - Xp - Sp3

    It shows IE7 in the Add/Remove list. So If SP3 wants to auto install IE7, You can remove it later.

    Jsky, you just made my DAY and today has been a terrific day (finished Christmas shopping)!! Thanks! (yahhhh, I know, I know, fret about the little thing, but doggone it, even though I haven't used IE7, just watching the kids use it on their idiotboxes, I don't want it! Tabs shmabs :) )

    Jsky, could you please do me a favor when you get a chance and see if IE7 is in your Add/Remove Program list? I've heard that if you remove IE7 that IE automatically reverts back to IE6 and thinkin' that if SP3 installs IE7, perhaps I can go back to IE6 through Add/Remove Programs (does that make any sense??)

    Bozodog thinks like I do! :D Teach Old Dogs new tricks when they LIKE the old stuff??? Not without a lot of bellyaching!

    Oh, dear.....

    Son has actually done this:

    "2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5 minute

    intervals"

    And this is Daughter's Tom Cruise Impersonation:

    "11. December 3: Darted around the store (house) suspiciously while loudly humming

    the "Mission Impossible" theme."

    :blink: And y'wonder why those kids drive me nuts??? :blink:

    Terrorist, you're getting kinda the weather we had yesterday (you being "downwind" of us). It rained, then got foggy, then it all froze last night, then snowed about 3" on top of the ice. The sideroads are just treacherous!! Icy and rutted. So drive carefully!!

    My errands are done....not leaving the house until the sand trucks catch up!

    "1H CY2008" Okayyyyy, I understand the 2008 part, what does the rest of it mean?? :blink:

    And since Jsky wrote that if one kept up with updates that SP3 maybe won't be necessary, does anyone know if MS is going to "play hardball" with forcing us to update to it like they did with SP2? (the whole "I'm gonna withold new updates tactic")

    Oh, and edit again :) Youse who have installed SP3--does it force you to install IE7? The kids have it, love it, I don't like it and don't want it. Tabbed browsing does nothing for me, gimme the old fashioned methods!!

    "TEACHER: John, why are you doing your math multiplication on the floor?

    JOHN: You told me to do it without using tables."

    I think John was originally named Aron--that is SO something Son would do!!! (and any reason to hop out of his desk! :))

  22. Darned Good Advice

    Kudos to SisterSue. LOVE number 4 and heading to a copy machine as soon as the weather straightens out

    Read this and make a copy for your files in case you need to refer to it someday.

    1.) Do not sign the back of your credit cards . Instead, put ' PHOTO ID REQUIRED '

    2.)When you are writing checks to pay on your credit card accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number on the 'For' line. Instead, just put the last four numbers . The credit card company knows the rest of the number, and anyone who might be handling your check as it passes through all the check processing channels won't have access to it.

    3.)Put your work phone # on your checks instead of your home phone. If you have a PO Box use that instead of your home address. If you do not have a PO Box, use your work address.

    Never have your SS#printed on your checks.

    You can add it if it is necessary.

    But if you have It printed, anyone can get it.

    ***Me--seems it would go for drivers license numbers, too--if it's required, just write it on the check, you'll eventually learn to memorize it and that's a good thing!***

    4.)Place the contents of your wallet on a photocopy machine .

    Do both sides of each license, credit card, etc.

    You will know what you had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and phone numbers to call and cancel.

    Keep the photocopy in a safe place.

    I also carry a photocopy of my passport when I travel either here or abroad.

    We've all heard horror stories about fraud that's committed on us in stealing a Name, address, Social Security number, credit cards.

    But here's some critical information to limit the damage in case this happens to you or someone you know:

    5.)We have been told we should cancel our credit cards immediately. But the key is having the toll free numbers and your card numbers handy so you know whom to call.

    Keep those where you can find them.

    6.)File a police report immediately in the jurisdiction where your credit cards, etc., were stolen.

    This proves to credit providers you were diligent, and this is a first step toward an investigation (if there ever is one).

    But here's what is perhaps most important of all :

    7.)Call the 3 national credit reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and also call the Social Security fraud line number.

    Contacting the Social Security fraud dept.will prevent new credit applications/cards being issued, as an alert will be in place.

    The alert means any company that checks your credit knows your information was stolen, and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit.

    Now, here are the numbers you always need to contact about your wallet, if it has been stolen:

    1.) Equifax: 1-800-525-6285

    2.) Experian (formerly TRW): 1-888-397-3742

    3.) Trans Union : 1-800-680 7289.)

    Me--If you call Equifax, they alert the other two companies, been there done that when an important computer was stolen from Daughter's College and they sent us "the 'beware letter'".....

    4.) Social Security Administration (fraud line): 1-800-269-0271

    If you are willing to pass this information along, it could really help someone that you care about.
