I disagree. A shed full of suds would be funny.

Could you guys please do an in-depth feature explaining what VPN is? and how you go about using it, I keep Hearing about it more and more but know very little on this subject be nice to add another string to the bow.

I think I should speak to Chester :-) Could be a good topic for a Techknow podcast. In the meantime, for a couple of very brief explanations, you could try:

Or the video in this article:

From the first piece above, “[a VPN is] where all the raw data in your [network] traffic is encrypted back to your home or office network, forming a Virtual Private Network, and then decrypted and sent out onto the internet as though you were at home or at work, not on the road.”
