Actually your point is well taken. People can no longer
surf the net from home without some form of protection.
Crackers will get to you sooner or later if you don't
close the holes. If you acn't afford a hardware firewall
the product "Black Ice" is < $50 US and is excellent to
protect the home user. Esp. at risk are cable and DSL users.
