I filled out the order form for the CD and left out 1 diget on my phone#. I got an error message. "You must enter a 10-digit bill-to phone number, including area code." ????? The criticle updates can be downloaded free why not download the "FREE" anti virus & firewall trial? I see no mention about shipping & handleing. Hmmmmm...

1) it loaded across the supported OS versions 2) it has a AV pgm. for trail usage if you like for 1yr.(nice), nope not using it yet 3) last, I'm able to take a CD and sneakernet it to various systems, no I have no broadband/network connection. So far, I'm a happy camper.
