We have a nine year old Panasonic that may be starting to have issues. Or it may not, because I think we left it off the charger for four days, and once it was charged it worked fine. So we are a data point for good results with Panasonic, though this does not say much about today's models.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I also recommend the Panasonics. In fact we bought the exact same multiple handset, speakerphone in the base type models for both sets of our parents.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
ita, I think still have my cordless phone from before I got my landline taken out, and I am pretty sure it meets all your requirements. Want me to dig it out of the give away pile and see?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Perkins, that would be great!

I'm back chatting with Norton virus folks about this darned computer. After paying $$ for their program, it seems turning off the firewall and turning off the anti-virus scanning means I can hit the internet. Nifty. Except I WANT a firewall and I WANT anti-virus scanning.
While there may be negative opinions about Norton, I have already spent my money there and I don't want to invest anymore.

Would you consider free options?

Yes, ita. If none of what they are trying to do works. Plus they better refund me. But the bottom line is this computer needs some teenager proof (if there is such a thing) protection.

AVG was pretty good for viruses, but I'm not sure if it works with Windows 7.
Suzi,
do you want parental controls?

The system is XP and YES on the parental controls on top of virus protection.
