facebook has "captchas" which cut down on the number of potential bots, although that doesn't keep people from making fake accounts. the thing with facebook though is that by default it is a private network. you and your friends, and possibly people in the networks that you choose (based on your settings, which are mostly locked down by default) are the only ones who can really do much of anything to you that you don't want. myspace is public by default, which makes it a more lucrative target. i highly doubt either site has much clue what their hundreds of millions of users are doing although they undoubtedly track trends and aggregate data.

while i tend to doubt your ISP's page has anything to do with it, i would try connecting without it being loaded and see what happens, make sure that norton is off, and finally, try using google's chrome browser instead. it's easier to get into than firefox - they either have flash pre-installed or it can be automatically installed.

i'd go with norton/IE simply based on the odds. in other words, your configuration is a lot more unique than facebook's, which is identical for every user. now, it's possible that facebook does something that norton/IE doesn't like, so who's fault it is can be up for debate. but the odds are that it's your particular configuration rather than a massive problem with facebook.

I just had a disturbing thought...maybe someone else mentioned this in the replies - I didn't read them all. But.....What if she joins the Cakewalk forums?

Then she will see that Jinga8 is a completely well-rounded guy that never posts during work hours. Possibly.

Isn't that what Face book is all about?
