Ya Cetra is right... your friend was BSing you... I do things like this to computer dummies all the time 'my mac disc drive seconds as a cup holder...'

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If you're very serious about your security on the internet, you can do the usual firewall/anti-virus/anti-spyware, and then go all the way a buy a proxy which can cover your IP. Not exactly what you wanted... but along the same lines. I'm not sure if Vista supports you covering your IP, but I'm fairly certain XP does.

P.S. - I like how She Likes Piano props everyone that helps her hehe.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
