Trouble trouble trouble... - a personal announcement

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Yesterday my friend tried to install a DVD writer to my PC. Without success. After unsuccessful attempts to update Windows XP I lost Norton antivirus program. Tried to install it again - no success :evil:
Since my PC at home isn't protected now, I don't visit the Internet at home (no mail accounts, no forums etc). For those who need to send me a message (weeding requests, for example) and know my e-mail account, please prefer an e-mail (don't have time for checking HL at work every day). These ones who need to contact me and do know my name but not my mail address - it's my first name dot surname at gmail dot com (it's an open forum and to avoid more spam mails I will not say more).
These ones who don't know neither my mail account nor name but who send me a PM, sorry, please be patient - maybe it takes more time to reply you.
Thank you.

Same here. Norton just clogs up your system.

AVG is very good and rather light on your CPU.

You lot might have started this "Norton's a bit pish" thread about a week ago before I bought it for another year :roll: :lol:

I had a crappy windows machine - now I'm running a very stable and secure Fedora Core 5 machine. Much better. I've heard good things about Ubuntu too.

Well, I´m fresh with the and have a number of problems I couldn´t fix yet. cups won´t play with my old Kyocera Laserprinter. Can´t print.
Flash player doesn´t really work, hardly gives any sound. Sometimes it does, most times it doesn´t. I blame it on the Gnome, But I couldn´t be arsed to change to Kubuntu or Xubuntu now. I´m a bit fed up with installing and fiddling around on the computer at the moment..
