I have McAfee. I went and disabled everything I could find, firewall protection, phishing filters, virus protection etc and still no go. I'll keep fooling with it.
Thanks.

I'm in chat and its awfully lonely in here! If you don't join me, I'll be forced to chat with the voices in my head!
Re: Mook........
I didn't know that Douglas Rushkoff was responsible for that term. He has written some pretty good books on new media and the internet. Pretty deep guy, I have learned quite a bit from his writings.
Tried the chat earlier and nobody there.
Walker said:........A term coined by Douglas Rushkoff in an episode of PBS's "Frontline" entitled "The Merchants of Cool." Mooks are archetypal young males(teens-early 20s) who act like moronic boneheads. They are self centered simpletons who live a drunken frat-boy lifestyle(or are frat-boys). Examples can be found anytime someone watches "Jackass." Rushkoff claimed that the media glorifies this ideal and stifles natural self expression, however, some people might argue teenage boys have always acted like morons(its actually a long-standing stereotype). Nonetheless, standardized conformist dumbass-culture behind a veneer of exhuberance is a scary notion indeed.
...hey, that fits me to a 'T' except I'm not a teenager anymore.
I'll check in tonight also....

For those of you who haven't tried the chat feature, i'd highly recommend it. We get a bunch of stand-up guys in there just talking about everything and smoking. Come on in.

It was a great chat last night. Rob gave out smokes to everyone since he won a sales contest. If you see him in there tonight make sure to ask for your sticks. He will be glad to give them out.
