Admission and Local Area Network

After spending a few days being wishy-washy concerning the apparent flaw in their "protection" software, Symantec (ska Norton) has issued a "fix." What do you expect from a company that still pushes that horrible Norton Internet Security thangy? It sucks! If you are intelligent and try to uninstall it I wish you good luck. TechSpot has a very good article about it. Folks, if you have to spend money on an anti-virus program get the full blown version of AVG Antivirus. If you have a network, their client bundles are wayyyy affordable. This software works and does not bog down a machine. Check it out.

Yes Robin (she emailed me) there is a computer in the bathroom. It is an older Toshiba Portege laptop that runs Windows 98SE because it only has 32mB of RAM. The 64megs that can be added cost more than the PC so it will surf the web in 800x600 resolution. It's not a speed demon, but gets the job done. It does use a wireless network card. There's a PC in every room of the beach house. The main computer room has three and a dumb terminal. All three of these PCs have dual processors. Thinking about adding a fourth, lol. Yes, I use every one of them. They stay updated to protect the network.

Got industrious yesterday and pulled the back out again. Have many things to do before the day is over. Locally the day is beautiful. Get outside! Enjoy it!

Sheltered from the wind
Where the children play on the shore each day
And all are safe within"
