Works for me.               NA> If you are that paranoid about browser security, then piece together a        NA> seperate dedicated system to browse the web with which has absolutely        NA> no personal files whatsoever, no saved passwords, no access to any        NA> network shares or devices etc.              Thanks for the idea.              I've learned about accessories being made for the Commodore 64 that have       a CAT-5 connector that I could run a cable from that to a port on the Router       to use the internet with the C=64.       And it might be the same accessory that has a SD Card slot built in on it.              Both of those things have crossed my mind, but I haven't desired to shell out       any cash to buy new things for the c=64.              73 de Ed W9ODR . .                     ...
