Sorry that you found my remarks offensive. However, responses such as what
follows led me to honestly believe that the poster was a Symantec employee.
"You need only enter the information....." Come on...

Symantec solutions "are" worth a shit, IMHO. Every problem boils down to
uninstall/reinstall.

Your point about the Yellow Pages was well taken. Maybe you were just
being sarcastic, but it sounds like damn good advice. I'm sure someone who
sets up computers for a living has seen every problem under the sun, 10
times over. He/she could probably figure it out in a snap.
