Clarification Request
Youtube?

Were you doing any video uploading and downloading from youtube in the past? Youtube will convert your uploaded videos of other formats to flv for display on their site and give you and option to download an MP4 for your own keeping if you wish.

Re: script

That's just a harmless script. But it's strange it's printed spontaneously. Do you turn off your computer and printer at night? Can other people access it? Do you turn off the modem?

Thank you

Thank you for the response. No, I do not turn them off and only those living in the house have access as the wireless network the printer is a part of is protected. Just seemed odd that it printed out at 6:00 am this morning, Thanks again, Melissa
