The Red Brick Times

I put a new link on the "cool tools" page today, a page I guess I've ignored for a long time. Because no one ever suggested the addition of a tool they'd found themselves (or mentioned the page at all for that matter) I just figured it wasn't viewed and forgot about it. Boy, when I first added it I thought it was the bees knees and you all would love it. Swing and a miss. Story of my life, but we won't get into that right now.

Anyway.... when building new PCs for John and Patricia I found myself using it a lot to download some basic utilities I wanted them to have so my interest in the page got rekindled. John and Patricia both browse lots of sites for FOWL and related interests some of which, unknown to them, may harbor trojans or other malware. To help protect them I put "Sandboxie" on both PCs. John mentioned "Sandboxie" to Ray and Ray said he'd never heard of a program like that. Or the need for one! Egads! Ray? The FOWL webmaster? Ye cats and little kittens. Ray honey, check out the "cool tools" page.

Great software to have especially if you have children (as I do) or neophytes surfing and playing games. I installed a copy last year and have slept much better (though the quality of sleep may be more related to my advancing years than peace of mind).

Nice catch. Sorry I didn't think to pass it along when I ran into it ... will try to be more consideration in the future.

With power comes responsibility. I, commander of communications in the universe of FOWL have had fleeting occasion to consider bee’s knees. My pristine web wanderings have not turned the page of prurient pleasure nor ventured into the virtual cesspool that surrounds it. Now that I have access to the ‘sandbox’ , I might have to play.
