Reply to Can a SanDisk (1GB USB drive) work as an external hardrive? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

flash drives have a limited number of read/write cycles in their functional lifetime Now I just learned a very useful bit of relevant info there. Also thanks to everyone posting here for the tech briefing. This page alone is worth more than a subscription to three major PC periodicals for me. Running Sony VAIO at the moment, VGN-FS780W, w/nV

Reply to Dump Norton for something else? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

If it ain't broke don't fix it. The whole issue's just bothersome... But since I don't want parasites in my system, I've got to use something. Running McAfee on the main box, seems to work fine. I like their "trace this event" feature. Using AdAware/AdWatch along with it. The @#!*^#@!! laptop (Sony) came with Norton preinstalled an
