I was just about to run out on the discounted 3 year mcafee subscription from my laptop purchace. I was going to with 'virus database has been updated' avast. But I now have this installed. I will see how it goes. I just hope I got all the mcafee cruft removed.
The 'joy' of that steaming pile of dung for an email front end has led me to never have a bad word to say about Outlook ever again. Dear god PROFS is worlds nicer email UI than Notes.
Day one after getting my endorsement. Ahh spring in Seattle when the nice color matching black sand from the winter snow is still in abundance on the road and i was already on the brakes. It was on the ground before I had a chance to even think OH FU...
PS: Since drivers were mentioned. WTF is with changing the printer drivers model?
As I work at a large aircraft manufacturer in the pacific northwest and I have specifically administered the windows print servers for years. I can answer that. The core print code has not changed since win3.11 (yes it uses the same base code from WFW) All the print hardware has gotten much better and for large format printing and over 600 dpi it barfs and prints out your 36x36inch drawing at letter size instead and this is not on brand spankin new printers we have the issue on wide format printers that are already discontinued by HP.
Even the vendor supplied drivers using the vendors print language that work around the issue do it by pixellating the image back out so you lose image quality.
We have run into issues now with the brand new letter/tabloid size printers when trying to print at a quality of over 600dpi and Postscript. Now mind you most stuff at that size is fine at 600dpi but the default setting is the highest quality and when you build queues by the hundreds you don't wanna go back and fiddle with the settings. Changing the settings in the driver load breaks signing which will open up more worms with longhorn/vista but that is a headache I happily will not have to deal with.
The only fix is brand new core code which means everyone has to write new print drivers.

Having never played Legend of the Green Dragon all I can compare it to is Kingdom of Loathing which it seems to feel like so far.

Yeah first thing I thought was how well will it hold up when the bike is dumped.
Also how distracting and interfering with your field of vision is that big ass screen? Distraction is a lethal thing on 2 wheels.
