TSGL: Teenagers

[The Computer Whisperer]

Downloading programs (shareware and illegally)from random file sharing
sources will almost definately yield a virus for your computer.

Documents such as images, word processing, videos, mp3's cannot contain
viruses (ok well, word can contain executable code.). Generally it is safe
to download such files.

You can burn the files to a DVD if you have a burner (2 x single layer
DVD-R's) or 10 CD-R's

Depends on how you want to spend your money.
