If all you do is play on the web and get email, switch operating systems. Linux (Mint, ubuntu, pclinuxos, red hat fedora, novell suse, etc.) and the bsds (pcbsd, desktopbsd, freebsd, netbsd, etc) don"t have virus problems and are used by the some of the biggest corporations in the world(ibm, google, yahoo, etc). Dell, lenovo, and even wallmart(website) sell machines with linux installed. Many have live cds that allow you to try to operating system out before you install. Backup your machine (if you"re going to install), download an iso of your choice and burnit to a cd. Reboot and see what a fast operating system is like. Especially on older computers (>5 years). For the curious, Distrowatch.com carries reviews and tracks popularity of the various oses. Of course you could get a mac(osx is freebsd under the hood). If you still need windows for certain things(games, specific hardware) you can dual boot your machine or run windows programs under emulation. I"ve used linux for over a decade with no data loss or even an os failure. The server alone ran from 1998 to 2004 when the tornados hit the house, its still running today with all the data still on it from 1998 and accumulated since. I"ve been using linux on the desktop for over a decade with no virus problems, and I don"t just surf the net and get email with my rigs.
I"m sorry if this seems like an ad. It"s not. I"m just tired of people having to spend good money(that they may need) on problems that already have a practical cure for free. That"s with these troubled times anyway. For those interested, Mint is currently rated as the easiest for linux and pcbsd for the bsds.

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
