    I still can't access NDNation, Ebay or Schwab. I brought my laptop home from work and it won't connect to those websites either, although I CAN connect to those websites, on that laptop computer, when I'm at work. Where could the problem be? My internet connection here is wireless...

    If a computer will connect to a certain site from work and not from home, the site may be blocked by your ISP for some reason. Contact your internet service provider and inquire.

    In China, I can get to facebook at work but not anywhere else in that nation.

    Fixed! Diane called Microsoft and some guy from India fixed it. The problem was the basic protocol numbers that allow access. He put in a series of numbers that allow access to everything. Why Microsoft doesn't use these numbers as a default is a mystery..
    :D

    I love MacIntosh Apples, but they are hard to find these days. Stores are loaded with Gala's instead.
