I had a nasty hijacker/spyware,,, it took forever to find someone who had the 
beginnings of the clue on how to get rid of it, as SpyBot and another common 
one were not zapping it.
It had a way of hiding in the registery and duplicating itself on re-boot.  I 
finally did find that little bugger in several different spots in the 
registry but that was 48 hours later and nearly bald later...  And I 
defintely had better things to do...   Death to the virus and malware 
writers...

You absolutely can. I like to start in flats, just to save space at
the beginning, easier to keep them warm, etc. Also, I can pick the
best looking seedlings to go into the cups.

that way.

I got some really, really bad spyware in my computer a few weeks ago.
I thought I was going to lose it and did a backup. I'm the worst at
backing up.

The advantages are that there is a lot more heat in a pound of coal than a
pound of wood, the coal burns hotter and far longer.  Some coal in the stove
burns all night and is plenty hot until well into the next day.  Coal does not
need to be covered against the weather and it lasts for many years with no
deterioration.

You don't want to use the coal ashes (and chinkers) on your garden.

Some people find coal messy and smelly, but it's a cultural thing here that a
coal fire smells good.
