    Windows ME apparantly has a little music program that has access to a child porn site. Whether this is an error or not I know from first hand experience that this is out in the public on however many thousands of computers. If a 16 year old kid can access it innocently at home by clicking on a button in a microsoft provided program how easy is it for any kid to access?

    In this instance the parents called the police and it was all sorted out. But how easy it was to get access.
