Not being funny Mandy but I find this statement rather strange!

Opening up firewall permissions to set up a home network is no risk
whatsoever, unless you have an unsecure wireless system of course.

Or if you've got a router that's insecure.

Yet
you refuse to install SP2 which is leaving you wide open to people
exploiting your security and hacking into your computer!

I don't use the XP machine any more... this one (with Vista) is it's
replacement! :o)

Not so bad - but still, if you've got Win XP, it really really needs SP2
if it's ever going to be connected to the internet.
