Ken G.--

Thank you for your consideration and time drafting your posting.  The only
reason that this came up at all is that the person using that particular
computer wanted to watch a specific series of videos on YouTube.  I
seriously doubt that she's going to watch any other videos at all.  Again,
thank you very much.
