Received an interesting fix to the grokster problem. It's called groksterlite!! Knew that kazaalite existed, picked up that information from TechTV's Kevin Rose last week, but this is new to me. Haven't tried it yet, so beware. One very informative site, http://www.spywareinfo.com, discourages the use of such programs. Their reasoning is that it sends a message to the guilty site saying that people like the site so much they'll go to these extremes to get rid of ads, spyware, yada yada. Well, liking peer to peer, I will probably try it. I disagree with spywareinfo; to me, it's sorta' giving these sites the finger for their cheesy efforts.
The url is:

This site will redirect you to the appropriate version of your peer to peer file sharing software. Groksterlite will be down for a few days due to moving from one host to another, but they have assured they will be back up asap. Thanks Molly from Florida for the tip!!!!

The April 2, 2003, airing of The Screensavers on TechTV devotes a whole segment on how to remove Bonzi Buddy. You can go to their site and look up the show notes and find a post of 'how to' rid your PC of this grape ape that sends all your info to various vendors waiting to spam n pornspam you. People that write this junk make me want dueling legalized.

Remember, download at your own risk. If you don't know what you're doing then seek competent help - beware of the geek that knows everything. There are legality issues about file sharing and I have my own opinions. There is much info on this subject, just google search and then read before making a decision. Ahhhhhh, back in the day of FTP n IRC......
