I like that little application, it's a very handy panic-saver!

Managed to download file after 3 tries (first 2 returned corrupted file). About to start scan, fingers crossed - will report back.

Ok so I feel really bad, well, maybe not too bad.

I just found a big pricing error on Sony. I was waffling on telling people, but considering I already feel bad buying it, since I know both Sony and the publisher are going to lose money on it, I can't bring myself to do it. Stupid guilt.

You're sure it's an error, not a discount in preparation for extra publicity?

Oh yes. Very sure.

Fancy a house swap?

I'm not sure I'm ready to move to the tropics. You actually got over the freezing mark?

happy_terd · 03-02-2010, 09:22 AM

The tropics would be nice this time a year. I'd like to manage a hotel there or something.

Hmm, I could work at the beach bar like that Tom Cruz on that cheezy "cocktails" movie.

My To Do List is coming out in hardback this year!
(It's comforting to notice that despite the large number of Not-Done items on it, the world still goes on) (Perhaps somewhat badly, but goes on)

Nope- couldn't do anything. Only place I could finally get to work was BitDefender online scanner. Seems my Norton when rouge on me for some reason. Tons of viruses and worms found in the program. Could not delete it manually, using the "uninstall Noton" or even Add/remove programs.

Finally found something called Norton Removal Tool.exe and was able to wipe Norton out. PC Doctor & Spyware Doctor no longer working, but was able to download AVG and actually get it running so at least I am protected.

Prevx says system is clean...for right now

Reading MR Llounge threads and laughing hysterically. Not *this* thread, necessarily, though.
It was my day off today. Posted discussions for new set of classes, and took both pre-tests. Classes this term are Business Law and Critical Thinking. Business Law looks pretty fun, the topic this week is "Do you think the government should monitor internet usage of private citizens? Why or why not?" I can see this getting ugly....

looks like a re-format and re-install job ..... (probably will take less time than you've spent this far ?)

Installing Snow Leopard on my iMac. Until today, I was still using Tiger.
