+ I don’t usually do commercials, or plug or endorse anyone … but there are exceptions; my computer wiz-guy has solved a pile of problems for me lately.  A Trojan virus invaded my world, and my guy made a house call, rescued me from a malicious virus, and inoculated me against trouble.  I have 11 years experience with his work.  If you are looking for a network administrator or a tech-trouble-shooter, consider this guy: Warren Brown, Paskapoo Networks  http://warrenbrown.sytes.net  403-536-0885. I recommend him without hesitation.
