Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

you can start there, but I find their reviews to be somewhat inadequate and usually out of date for my purposes. you might start reading and then ask here for opinions, etc.

I like Dell and Dell has decent deals on refurbished laptops.

I know others here like Sony.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Cool, thanks. I like that CNET compares them to one another, because I don't really know what I'm looking for.

Cross my fingers? I'm really bad about that stuff.

The reason I ask is that I just got a notice that my McAfee subscription was renewed automatically and I'm just wondering if I need to pay $40 a year for this when I'm on such a tight budget.

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

I use AVG Free.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am as one with DX.

Also, if you get high-speed internet at home, your provider may offer virus protection as part of your package. Check their site.

megan, no. I've heard good things about AVG.

If you combine AVG with CCleaner and spyware checkers and you should be in good shape.
