The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Try ctrl-shift-esc to bring up the Task Manager and see if it is still running any processes?

Which processes?

I mean - when I check processes - there are many that are running (55).

Anything specific to McAfee? There may be a lot of processes listed, but probably few that are very active, using much % of system resources.

Under the applications tab, is the McAfee installer showing as "not responding," or at all?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You might want to Ctl-Tab through your application, in case there's an open dialog box (that you have to answer) under something.

It finally cleared out. Whew.

I don't know what it was waiting for.

It was coyly waiting for you to make the first move?

Hey. New board.

Okay, so I caved to the peer pressure of the subway and the sad fact that I played with a Palm Pre (feels kind of like a children's toy, though the OS is lovely) and apparently T-Mobile's new Android offering is second-rate and bought an iPhone tonight.

16GB, 3GS.

What apps should I download? I don't really need any stuff for power users (no news readers, VNC clients, or SSH programs) or social networkers (don't care about facebook mobile or any twitter programmers) and have decided to forego instant messaging, but am interested in exploring other departments.

Also, do most people use the built-in mail for Gmail usage, stick with the web interface, or use another app?
