Another Carlton smallkid time photograph. No idea when or where. He was a serious looking kid.

OK boys and girls - next week laptop computer prices will drop like a rock. And how do I know this? Because, I ordered the new Toshiba today.

A friend's kid got snagged by the the old "Internet modem switcheroo". This usually occurs when you are surfing around the dark corners of the web. The XXX parts. Well, to make a long story short - your computer is directed to hang-up and dial a long distance number in Vanuatu or somesuch places. All this happens while you are distracted by pictures lovely ladies. Sort of like a good pickpocket scheme. (No boys and girls - you can not hear the modem. The hi-jacker turns modem sound off).

As far as Internet scams go - its an oldie but still a goodie.
