Guest guest Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 Hullo Geoff, I loved the post on the origins of words. As an ex-graphics person, I can add that minding one's P's and Q's supposedly comes from typesetting, when a new apprentice needed to look carefully to see if he were inserting a P or a Q as they often were switched by mistake. What kind of virus scanning discs do you recommend? So far I just put it into my Tools to dump anything that comes in with those suffixes. The warning I posted was from McAfee's site, but I have Norton's but may not be using it right. Thank you for all your generosity and hard work, Felicia " We take a handful of sand from the endless landscape of awareness around us, and call that handful of sand the world.

The warning I posted was from McAfee's site, but I have Norton's but may not be using it right. << I used to recommend McAfee before they were " assimilated " by Symantec. They were the absolute best around, bar none. Now - ugh. I no longer have a " favorite " nor even one I am completely comfortable with. For the most part the " biggies " like ... drum roll ... SYMANTEC's Norton (and) SYMANTEC's McAfee are way, way to unstable. To make matters worse, Symantec is too " aggressive " after M-Y hard drive space and OS for my taste. I do not like programs that do not properly uninstall, Sam I am! So, sorry - no recommendations from this quarter. Perhaps , or some of the other geeks & wonks about here have an opinion worth while.
