  You have been a BBS User for a long time and I would had thought that You  
  know that I wasn't a normal person from reading messages that I post.

  I usually don't watch or listen to TV or Radio when the News is being told  
  about.  
    
  I use Mailwasher free and Mozilla Thunderbird for Email.  
  If I see an unwanted Email after I used Mailwasher to see if the Mail  
  Server has any for me I will go to the Web Mail site and delete that  
  message,  
    
  Before I Sign In to the Email option, I will see aome links to News Articles  
  and I may read the summary of a few of them and then go do what I wanted to  
  do, then I Sign Out and use Mailwasher to check Email again, and then  
  Get Email with Thunderbird and read the messages.  
    
  I don't use the computer for any bsnking, If I want to buy something I see  
  advertised by a Companies internet page, I will call their toll free number  
  to see if they will accept my personal check for the item and then send what  
  I ordered when the check has cleared.  Works for me.

  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.
