Ack. Reality or not doesn't matter. It's the perception of reality. And
many Jane Averages are sick of it all.  It's one of the reasons we pushed
the whole hardened safe internet computer thingy for those Jane Averages.  
Most people should not be online with a full-function PC. Hardware is
cheap enough for most homes to have 2 or 3 systems, one of which is the
designated primary Internet access point.
