Connectivity

Basically, here's what I'm asking windows to do for me:

Run offline games
Run Psexe (for Tokimemo2)
Run FCEU (for NES games...until I reburn imbNES)
Run Neverwinter online
Run Ragnarok online
Run miniaim (a minimalist AIM client that has no adware or fillers...like a good hot dog)

So basically...online activity is minimal.  Here's what I'm planning to do about it.

Disable Internet Explorer
Get Firefox
Turn on like 9 software firewalls
see what ports I need to open for what software
and um...have fun...
