I blocked the web page "myspace.com" so my children could not access it and my 10 year old saw it was blocked and went to the Yahoo "Search" bar, typed in myspace.com and it took him into the site without asking for a password. How can I block the site from my children regardless of the Home page and them using the search bar.

In the bad old days you went into town and bought a new washing machine and next year or so it was delivered, you got it out of the box only to discover that you had to go back into town to buy a plug for it.
Under consumer pressure you now get a "free" plug.
NOW I've just paid for my broadband connection, got the thing connected only to find that in order to use it safely I need a whole load of security software, virus protection, firewalls etc.,etc.
Three quarters of it I don't understand.
Why the blazes can't the company (bt in this case) include this in the price or at least tell me, BEFORE I buy it, that I am going to need it?
Its a bit like selling you a barrow without a wheel and not telling that you need one to make it a wheelbarrow.

My new dell printer only gets about 50 copies and takes a color ink cartridge only. I was told it would last a year (LIE) I only got 50 copies and out of ink.

Dell said it costs the same and get the same number of copies regardless of if it is in color or black and white as the black uses all the other colors.

Can only buy ink from dell. At $24 for 50 copies, I can't afford.

My question is
1. will any printer work with a dell?

2.Which printer brand gets the most copies and is able to do black and white or color?

3. I would like you where I can get ink cartridge somewhere like Walmart's

4. How many copies shopuld I expect to get with the printer you recommend and do you need both black and whitre and colored cartridge to operate it?

5. About how much do printers cost?
