Everyone here will probably recognize (and appreciate) these New Year's Resolutions from the January 2006 PC Magazine, page 8:

• Back up your data
• Keep your operating system up to date
• Keep your antivirus software up to date
• Run antispyware software
• Check system-restore disks; make them if you don't have them
• Check your firewall regularly
• Change your passwords regularly
• Check your credit reports regularly
• Back up again and keep a copy in a safe location

Have a great 2006!
