recent Hurricane Isabel caused me to reassess my priorities.

the Internet?"

"Phishing," the latest craze among online evil-doers, has nothing to
do with sitting at the end of a dock on a sunny afternoon dangling a
worm to entice hungry catfish.
But, if you take their bait, this new breed of online con artist
will hook you, reel you in, and take you for every dollar you
have… or worse.
"Phishing" describes a combination of techniques used by cyber
crooks to bait people into giving up sensitive personal data such as
credit card numbers, social security numbers, bank account numbers,

Anyone surfing the Internet for more than a week eventually needs
help from someone else. Whether regarding an online purchase,
technical support on computer hardware, software support or some
other type of help, sooner or later everyone needs assistance.
The way in which you ask for help has everything to do with how fast
and how well you receive assistance. In the online world where
email rules, the following tips will help you get what you need and
get on your way quickly.

remember that a live person will receive your email communication
and, in many cases, they didn’t cause your problem directly.
