Just a small bit of advice - please ensure that your computers are up to date regarding Virus guards..... There's a new one out - (well not so much a new one), a more up-to-date one... It's called 'HIJACK'... What it does - will continuously change your sites. eg: If you happen to be on Ebay, this could change to another site, and then another, and so on. This is not supposed to be a 'scare', but just keep your eyes open for anything like the above happening to you computers.. cheers. John..
