Oops.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

No, I have a Tivo and I did get a hard drive added when the original one got fried. I just find it hard to believe I was ahead of you on any technological curve. I am amongst the least tech-savvy Buffistas.

Hee. Your TV addiction served you well in this instance.
I didn't get a TiVo until I moved here anyway.
Anti-virus/firewall question: My NAV subscription is expiring. With what would you recommend replacing it?

I like Sygate for a firewall. It is really good. And free.
Virus...don't know.

PC. Wait, I'm about to become a 2 OS household -- I need Mac recs too.
Will go check Sygate.

Strawberry disappointment.
I'd back up Sygate for firewall. And I've found Panda to be really good as an anti-virus.

If there's more than one 'puter, why not just use the hardware firewall in your router?

I already do. But I must be doing it wrong, because NAV has intermittently reported intrusions that reached the PC.
