You can Google it in seconds...
Maybe you can... :) My computer isn't really set up for that sort of
thing...
You don't have a browser of any sort? I was using interweb portals on
a Commode-door C=64 8-bit confuser in the early 1970s. Then Amiga and PC-DOS .... all long before Netscape released the first popular web browser. There were drawbacks - like with the C=64 viewing 80 column material on a 40 column screen was a "special" experience.
I've been using Lynx right along... but it's a text browser, doesn't do java at all, and, as I'm working in DOS (not exactly a multitasking environment, after all), not readily accessible to "google in
seconds"... ;) When I want/need to access things like the Wegmans website to clip digital coupons or MyCare to deal with medical stuff, I borrow one of Richard's laptops complete with Win10 and the necessity
of using pointing devices... at least that's got a touch screen, so I
can do most of it that way... still not my favorite thing to be
doing... and very much not a simple deal to access... ;)
Ok, that's pretty much what I did know... that there is a risk involved
with them, but that's been there all along... this Health Alert made it
sound like suddenly ALL oysters are contaminated.... It might have
been something on FaceBook, for all I know... she's on there, I'm
not... :)
Like Alice's Restaurant "You can get anything you want ...." except, possibly, the truth. The next time I go on fa(r)cebook - home of much mis/disinformation and "fake" news - will be my maiden voyage. This (Phydeaux) and a couple e-mail lists are as close as I ever come to
social media.
I'm with you on that.... and I'm not even doing e-mail lists... just various bbs networks....
