Cass,
Mapquest has gotten some good reviews for GPS. I just started using it, so I don't have a lot of experience, with it, but it seems solid.
Avoid Copilot USA.

Quick question about transferring a domain registration to a new owner - once I've unlocked it and sent the authorization codes, do I need to do anything about modifying the WHOIS records, or should the new owner take care of that bit on his end?

do you know who the new registrar is? Some are better than others.
You should recommend hover.com if they don't have one already. They are the fucking bomb. They handled me like I was a small child and the transfer was super SMOOTH from godaddy.

The domain's being transferred from Dreamhost to Godaddy. Having just received another email from the buyer, I'm thinking he doesn't doesn't know how to read very well.

too bad about godaddy, but godaddy has decent instructions about how to transfer TO their domain.
they are pretty good that way. If he ever wants to leave, I wish him well.

help!
I have a scanner at work - it's an HP5200C. When it was uncovered during an office clean up (not kidding) I plugged it in and hooked it up to my computer and Voila! A working scanner.
Then this morning my boss tells me that when I send the scanned pictures to the staff additional stuff gets added to it and that I should check the software for options of some sort. Guess what? No can do. So, went to the HP website and downloaded a patch. Now, not only can I not see software to make other options happen but my computer no longer recognizes the scanner. What can I do??

So, is there a consensus here on Interwebs security software? Microsoft? Avast? AVG? (which I used on the previous one)
My new laptop came with a Norton trial so I hadn't bothered about it yet. But now that's about to expire. I'm pretty sure I shouldn't continue with Norton, right?
But then what do I need? Do I uninstall Norton first and then download the others?

My fav is Microsoft Security Essentials. It's worked well for me on five different computers and it's very unobtrusive. And, yeah, you'll want to uninstall Norton before installing anything else.

Has Norton made it any easier to completely uninstall their tenticles? I remember it being VERY difficult a few years back.

Well, I used these steps, but there wasn't much to find, which I'm hoping is because I hadn't fully activated it yet.
