Hi Ralph, It's very good to hear from all of you again. Will you say hello to
Tina, from me, if you get the chance? How is your FICS rating doing now?

Be a little careful with Guard Dog (Not Foxie of course, she's the best dog
there is on this planet I'm sure of it!). I read on German ChessBits forum
http://www.siteboard.de/cgi-siteboard/archiv.pl?fnr=1277&read=1500
that with older versions of stand-alone McAfee VirusScan, version 4.5, there
were problems if you wanted to use Defrag or Scandisk. But this was an older
version, if I'm correct Guard Dog has version 5.x at least that's what I read at
http://www.mcafee.com/. Not all the features like restricting options for
non-administrator users seemed to work very well I read in a Dutch report but I
don't know if you need those. I'm sorry, this does not seem to be the best
product McAfee ever made. Michael would know more, I believe he is in the
computer software business these days? Jeroen van Dorp also has part of his
pages devoted to computer security I believe. But the virusscanner should be
fine, features against unwanted cookies too, make sure that Windows displays
full extensions of files so that you can check e-mail attachments. But you know
that..

I don't have Century 3.0 yet, I'm looking forward to it! If Kramnik keeps this
up I claim I have won my bet against Tina! Didn't think he could really make it
so hard on Kasparov though.. And with his favourite number thirteen I just now
see Kasparov only goes for a short draw, fourteen moves as if symbolically
saying that Kramnik is already the fourteenth Champion. Let's hope the match
isn't totally over already?

Best regards to everybody there, Ralph!

Eelco
