I just became an aunt to a beautiful baby girl and that took me away from internet connection for a few days and I was too nervous/busy to think to check on things from my phone.  

When I got back home there was a virus on my computer (thanks hubby) which I didn't have time to remove till today (appears to be all clear now...fyi, ESET has great customer service and had removal instructions in my mailbox in under a day; not bad considering this type of virus was one you had to execute yourself so it wasn't completely their fault).

I have noticed a few reports and will get to them as I can if they haven't already been handled.

Not-congratulations.

Aunthood! Felicitations, Whit. I use avast! for my brand spanking new PC.
I want bad people to look forward to and celebrate the day I die, because if they don't, I'm not living up to my potential.

Welcome back and congratulations, Whitney. As for that other thing, we'll just pretend it didn't happen.  ;)

Congratulations! Is this your first/only, niece/nephew?

Yes, first niece...don't have any nephews yet.  They'll all have to come from the same woman so this could be the only one if she doesn't have any more.

Nice... a Niece!

AFK?  Away From Knetwork?

Sorry 'bout the virus - I use AVG from Grissoft... (free and amazingly good).

Auntie Whit!

It's good to see you back, Whitney!

And it's great to hear that you had such a pleasant reason to be away; congratulations. :)

Thanks everyone...btw, I'll be AFK (away from keyboard) over the weekend too...going back to visit sister and niece again.  So, I'll be on phone only access over the weekend and typically don't like to browse HAF or any other forum extensively on a tiny screen.

Tell Mr. Virus to stay AFK too while you're gone!

To avoid computers virus one must done of two things: not look up anything debaucherous or get Mac osx.

Hence the need for a mobile app. I'd pay.
No churches have free wifi because they don't want to compete with an invisible force that works.
