We are having trouble with people putting obscene messages on the scrolling Marquee. This is an America Reads Tutor Program using donated computers and we have some knowkedge of computers. None of the computers are Networked, so each computer would have to be done individually. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks, sandy:)
