Re: Anti-Spyware & Anti-Virus Program
I was told by our Comcast tech not to put an anti-virus on our PC because the Comcast service has its own antivirus. Told a new one would conflict. When I painstakingly uninstalled Norton the machine ran a lot better. I have no independent confirmation of the Comcast techs claim but I am going with it for now.

Re: What Book Are You Currently Reading? Part V
I got through first half. Have not picked it back up yet, but I will next week. Man --- scary stuff about the wheelers and dealers like Paul Singer. A good companion book to this would be "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins. That one came out a couple years ago.cheese_breath wrote:Vulture's Picnic by Greg Palast. I'm about half way through. Exposes unethical and criminal practices in the energy industry, especial big oil. Some may find the raw language and/or political comments in the book offensive. But on the other hand it is both informative and entertaining.

Re: washing machine died, soliciting advice
Just got a Maytag Centennial top loader --newer style without the agitator--water conserving. I bought it skeptically about 2 mos ago from a local appliance dealer with a good history. Does a great job--I am very happy with it now.
