Oh yeah, it's a pig. But most anti-virus programs are pigs. My experience: my XP computer got very slow over time: just booting Windows took 20 minutes. I kicked off AVG and now it boots in about 2 minutes. If that is not a pig, then I don'

"Magic solution"? Having to quit doing the job you used to love for 8 months does in no way sound like a magic solution to me. Taking a pill and go to work the next day, all refreshed, that would be a magic solution.

The focus on "New!" Isn't all bad. It can mean something innocuous like "Here's something you probably haven't seen before..." Of course, this is bound to degenerate into behaviour of hunting for scoops, in a hope to discover a new trend be

But, would you go and see Frasier in the theater? I didn't think so. Theater movies must look impressive, in every detail, so you'd want to go and see it on a big screen.
