BUSTED!!!

Ok...so the ole laptop was starting to act a bit sluggish, so I decided to investigate the ole laptop. I mean, this is a 2.8 machine with 512 ram, so there is NO way it should not be screaming all the time. Ran NETSTAT, and...lookie what I found...all types of random IP addresses accessing my machine. What for, I dont know. I do know that I did have a security hole because I liked to remote login to my laptop from other places on campus...seems like those days are over. Closed that hole, and all those IP addresses are now gone, the the ole screamin laptop is back to Nasa-like mainframe speeds...well, not quite that fast, but fast enough so i dont have to wait for a page to download.
