I've removed advertising from most of this site and will eventually clean up the few pages where it remains.

While not terribly expensive to maintain, this does cost me something. If I don't get enough donations to cover that expense, I will be shutting the site down in early 2020.

If you found something useful today, please consider a small donation.

Usual rant: An 18 year old kid, supposedly faces up to five years in jail, but will probably get off with a hand-slap, and it's not Microsoft's fault. Nor are the folks who don't bother to install patches or run virus software to be blamed. Well, we can blame, but nobody is going to be coughing up any cash and nobody is going to face any real punishment.

Delta Airlines had to cancel some flights because of Sasser. Did that cost anybody anything? The UK Coast Guard was affected by this - no big deal, right?

Aaargh!
