An Amazing Thing Happened While Reading the Article. on the thousand dollar password.
I am reading the article about how Joe lost his shirt because he had a “poor” password process. when I got an email from Identity Guard, an internet security firm, offering to protect my children from ????? whatever evil lurks on the web. I am not sure how they got my email, but it was very strange that I opened WS, and a few moments later got an email from a firm I never heard of, nor I have knowingly ever opened their website. VERY STRANGE, did they just happen to find my email address at that moment, or did my address leak into their server from some “cloud” or did you sell my address?

Ok, I may have made a wrong assumption, I use GMAIL, and since I got the email about the password security, I have noticed a marked increase in sidebar ads concerning internet security. And I know that GMAIL sells email addresses.
My apology for jumping the gun,, and making unfounded accusations.
I have been a WS for many years and value the articles. Keep up the good work.

your post while I am sure is well intended, is to me kinda like getting a new car that will run faster, but having to put the old car tires on it to get the new car to roll.

Susan, I do not think that IE 9 is ready yet. I have a 64bit laptop. I now know that a purchase of a 32 bit laptop would have been the better choice. I have used IE since it was a pup. The latest upgrade to IE 9 still has many problems for me. I tried to use it when it was in beta, to run on my 64 bit machine, no fun. After your new letter post, I tried again. The beta was gone, but now when I try to run IE 9 as my default, there is a note on the options page that tells me that the 64 bit IE 9 version will not be my default.
So I put IE 9 back on the shelf, went back to Chrome and FireFox. They seem to work pretty well.
