how risky is it to have Macs online these days?

Thanks, Golfer... It's a 2 Wire 1800HG Gateway Router supplied by our DSL service.

I appreciate the Onyx referral and will take your advice to reboot.

I suppose we are all paranoid about something in life, eh, DharmaDog? For me, it's spiders... he's a great husband so I'll give him some latitude to over- worry about my computers. You all gave me what I needed to get clearance and for that, I'm grateful

I can't be two specific about the risk, DharmaDog.... remember, we're dealing with "paranoid delusion" I'm told ;-) As far as file sizes... I currently have 2.5 TB of storage and about 350 GB left. Mostly photos, designs, logos and video.
