That I 'bring the funny' or words to that effect.

18. ah.
well someone has to. might as well be you, just as soon as you stop with the bunco-induced boxed wine swilling... :)

i kid, we all have our hobbies/interests. you can crack on my World of Warcraft playing and my perpetual use of bittorrent to download music and tv shows.

my music collection would make you gag, from the sheer size of it... and some of the stuff i listen to :D

19. I tried bit torrent, but it screwed up my computer.
So, now I use graboid.com.

Have you heard of it? The quality is amazing and some is in HD.

I also burn copies of shows to DVD with a program my computer guy put it.

graboid is free for a certain amount of downloading per month, but I was too impatient and I bought the $14.99 per month package which allows me to download 50,000 mb per month.

No spyware, nothing mucking up the computer. Seriously. If you download a lot, you should check it out.

I hear you on the music collection. I just sold about 1000 of my old albums after I got them in MP3 form.

20. thanks, but...
i'll stick with bittorrent. the program i use roots out spyware for the most part, plus i only get torrents from 3 sites that i know do a very good job of catching spyware and trojans.

thanks to BT, i found an old britcom that i saw only 1 episode of, but remembered it to this day, thanks to the actor, lenny henry. the show was chef! lenny henry is a freakin' comic god.

21. I'm not computer savvy enough to root out the spyware.
DS1 had to help me with the trojan from Hell a while back.

I like Graboid a lot, though. You might want to give it a looksee if you're curious. I really like that some of the shows I watch are in HD.

22. What sites would those be?
i only get torrents from 3 sites that i know do a very good job of catching spyware and trojans.

Not that I'm all that worried about it as I'm running Linux.
