...urgent, I felt. It spooked me to leave my PCs connected to the Net all day unattended. The simple security solutions--unplugging them or disabling file sharing-- didn't work because I needed to share files with my wife. And I can never remember to unplug the modem at night. I ended up getting BlackICE Defender, a $39 piece of software that I downloaded (in about a minute), from networkice.com I recommend it highly for home users. It's easy to install, and you hardly know it's there. It also allows you to be more proactive; BlackICE records...
...presented a sensible view of how to deal with millennium madness. After years of cocktail parties and late-night gatherings, my husband and I have spent the past few New Year's Eves with our four children.

A tribal leader may explain what will be going on in other parts of the world on this night. The men will stand in awe trying to fathom this--for all of three minutes, after which they'll get back to more important things, like the next day's hunt, which...
Nothing on your map of global events sounds as exciting as a New Year's Eve celebrated in Timbuktu, Mali. Already fully booked by tourists for this year's celebration, a night there takes the cake for being the most original way to spend the end of the century: in Africa, at the "end of the world" in Timbuktu!
