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.

I have a netbook - 1.66 GHZ chip .99 Gig of memory. XP home as OS. Will Microsoft essentials be faster and less obtrusive for me than Norton?

Does anyone know how to get rid of the annoying MacAfee that came with my netbook?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Quick camera question.
I have a newish Canon Rebel XS that I've been using to learn how shoot in a manual mode (I was a click-and-shoot girl before.) Over the weekend, I played a bit with shutter speed, trying out long exposures with a slow shutter speed, trying out manual focus, etc. No problems with the camera at all. Then this morning, I can't shoot anything at all. When I press the shutter, it 1) does not focus despite the fact I have the button back on automatic focus, and 2) the shutter makes these weird... um, shuttery sounds, 2-3 times, without depressing all the way down or taking a picture.
I think this is something obvious that I should be able to fix, but damned if I can figure out what.

Bluetooth headset question:
Because I value the Buffista opinion...
I have an iPhone and right now I'm using the little earbuds that came with it. But I want something Bluetooth and comfortable for the long phone conversations I have in the car. Any recommendations?

I'm not sure if this is truly tech or not . . .
I have a new Nook, and I have a txt-to-pdf conversion utility. However, when I have the file on Medium font size, the words will split in the middle at the screen edge instead of between words. Is this a failure of the PDF format or of a cheap converter utility? If I set the file to Small size (unreadable) I see a lovely block of text with the lines ending at the line breaks.
I'll be happy if I can just get the lines to break between words.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Does the txt-to-pdf utility let you change the dimensions of the page? Maybe you can set the page to the size of the Nook screen, instead of 8½ × 11.

What it does is set up a virtual PDF printer. That's a good idea about the page size. Off to experiment!
