Message:: [QUOTE="Shoewrecky, post: 839699, member: 22350"]Paddy,I agree with what you are saying. I ordered hard copies because I like not having to carry my laptop/desktop everywhere I go. Also, I SAVE all my magazines because I know eventually I will have to refer back to older magazines for information that I may need. Speaking along the lines of identity thieft, I went for a walk with my wife last night and we were talking about when to get our son a SSN card. She wanted to wait until the last possible minute however I informed her that wasn't possible. What's so relevant of this to identify thieft? Well, a LOT of scam artists are using your children's SSN in order to get Credit Cards so they can ruin your credit. So if you have child(ren) this is something you may want to consider doing a credit report if you havent done so already. As a matter of fact I recieved an email from this person with 20-30 other emails attached stating in order to complete my Window's 7 upgrade, I will need to provide them 11.25 for Shipping and Handling. I responded to all (because I wanted to make everyone AWARE of the security/privacy breach that this person made) and wouldnt you believe there were a couple of people yelling at me? Really? Com'on folks I was trying to look out for you and this is what I get. I chuckled and was a little ****ed b/c this is the thanks I get. Gotta love society.[/QUOTE]
