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.

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. 73 de Ed W9ODR . . ....
