Powerbook memory does not have to be done in symmetric pairs. You'll be just fine going to 1.5 GB as you have described.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Excellent! I'd hate to buy 512MB and find out I wasted it because I need more.

Thanks.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I'm wondering how long I will have TV if I can't TIVO. Cooking shows are the only thing I seem to be able to handle with commercials anymore...

All is well that ends in pizza.

I don't know *any* CSS, so I can certainly attest to that title.

I suppose I should take some time to update my web skillz.

Microsoft Anti-Spyware Removes Norton Anti-Virus

An anonymous reader writes "According to a story over at Washingtonpost.com, the latest definitions file for Microsoft's Anti-Spyware beta flags Symantec's Norton Antivirus products as a password-stealing trojan and prompts users to delete portions of the program. Users who follow the instructions hose their installation of Norton, requiring delicate Windows registry edits and a complete removal/reinstall of Norton. Microsoft's support forum is quickly filling up with complaints about this problem, many from businesses that have been pretty hard hit. This should be a cautionary tale about deploying beta products in production environments."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Thanks for that, Daniel. A friend of mine mentioned that he'd gotten that trojan warning today, and that his Norton installation was hosed. He assumed it was the trojan that had hosed Norton, and was going nuts trying to figure out how it had gotten onto his machine. I have passed that along. If you hear the sound of ultimate suffering coming from Fall River, that's why.

Maybe I should post that in Press, for the non-tech Buffistas to be warned.

I think I will.

Coming soon: Vista, which will only work on 50% of current machines out there. (And maybe even less, by the time it's released.)

Ah, new Operating systems driving hardware sales.

And no, I'm not implying Apple is immune from this syndrome.
