In case you're a recent convert from Windows, you should know that you also don't need an antivirus, antispyware, and especially you don't need anything with the name "Norton" attached to it.

Wasn't Norton the company that had the awesome utils for 16-bit Windows that let you hack directly on your files as they lay on disk? Truly geek-inspired and necessary on that crufty old system.

Truly geek-inspired and necessary on that > crufty old system. Yes. But the mighty didn't "fall". He just sold his name. You are recalling the days when Norton really meant Peter Norton. Yes, he wrote good, useful, and highly respected stuff. But he long ago sold his name to Symantec. Though he got lots of money for selling his name, I don't know if he got the better end of the deal. :-( The name Norton no longer has anything at all to do with Peter Norton. -- Richard Maine | Good judgment comes from experience; email: my first.last at org.domain | experience comes from bad judgment. org: nasa, domain: gov | -- Mark Twain |
