While my 5 year old Compaq is in the shop, I am using a 1998 Packard Bell, with 98 Windows, on dial up link.
It is a desk top computer.
I had Free Republic set as the opening page, so it does open to Free Republic, but objects to going to other sites.
It is full and the programs have flaws in them, so they work as they will and are out of date for for the modern gimicks that are common today.
Mine should be out of the shop in the next week, or so they said.
Thanks for visiting this thread and asking about the computer, I have forgotten what I knew about it when I used it before, so get by the best that I can.

Wealthy countries want to buy farmland abroad

[This almost scares me, as we own so little of the U.S. farm land, 25 years ago 62% of it was foreign owned, according to the board of Realtors.
At that time, when I was on my soapbox, one of my clients told me to not worry, as all the President needed to do was sign an Ex. Order that cancelled foreign ownership.
There is no way that order would be signed today.
