I have an eMachine from 1999 installed in a little theatre that's still running.

I have a couple of 1998 computers I gave relatives and are still running fine, one is a Gateway and one is a Micron. Lots of extra memory stuffed into them though. I had a 1998 Power Mac G3, that was perfectly good but I just didn't have any use for it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
brenda, in AVG go to Tools-->Advanced Settings, then in the left pane expand Schedules and click on Scheduled Scan.

Hmmm. I have no Tools menu to go to. I was able to reschedule the daily update check through Services and then found a Scheduler tab (in Test Center, not Control Center as I would have assumed.) Hopefully this will take care of it. Thanks all!

The status is NOT quo.
So Drew and I decided to spoil each other for our upcoming 3rd anniversary...by buying each other shiny new iPhones! We waited in line all day (I am not exaggerating), but I am loving my new phone. If we had realized we would be in line all day, we wouldn't have bothered...but there comes a point a few hours in where you're damned if you're going to back out now, you know?
As a friend said recently, toys make stress easier to deal with.

This is basically how I accumulated a complete set of MTG revised edition cards.

As a friend said recently, toys make stress easier to deal with.that's why I got mine. Family trip to FLA, a long weekend sharing a hotel room with mom. Stressful.... eh, a little.
Congrats on the new phones! Who got the old one ND?

Hey, all. I'm thinking of getting PhotoShop CS2 for Windows. I've got XP on my laptop. Any major problems you know with it? And can anyone recommend a good graphic tablet to go with it that won't cost me an arm and a leg?

I'm using Photoshop CS2 on my PC right now! (AIFG!)
The Wacom tablets have always been highly rated, but I haven't bought a new one in years.

Is yours Wacom, Jon? If it's lasted for years, that sounds like a pretty good recommendation.
