Today was a pretty good day.  I remembered to set me clocks ahead the required hour.  I managed to get meself up on time and made it to church, on time.  Pretty good!

Then I decided that perhaps it was time to update me Norton's.  The message had been popping up for almost 2 weeks, so take an hour and update.  The "take an hour" is the operative word here.

The renewal center is an interesting place.  Once you get there, decisions, decisions, decisions.  First, do you want to renew or update.  They even have comparisons, side by side, and tours of these comparisons.  Then if you decide to update, which update would you like to use.  More decisions.  Ok, I have made me mind up to update and have actually decided on which update.  (BTW, an hour has passed.)  Now do you want to download or purchase the product.  Once again, go into the comparison site so you can made a decision.  I decide to download.  Now, how do you want to pay for this download!  ARGH!  I decide and start the download process.  OK! 

Well, needless to say, the download process was not what I expect either.  It literally takes over an hour, and you have to be close to your computer so you can fill in the required prompts.  Finally, the download is complete.  Installation!!  This takes an additional 30 minutes.  Follow the prompts, which says to run live update and then scan your computer.  Not all of the live update wants to load.  Go to the help center.  Restart the computer, says help, and try live update once again.  This works ( thank goodness) but once again, restart your computer.  Now I can scan my computer!   Hurrah!!

Ok, this has taken over 2 1/2 hours!  I go have some supper, while the scanning is happening.

I return, nothing is found and I get on the net.  No problem.  Check me one email account.  Go onto Yahoo.  Yahoo is working fine.  So far, so good.  Ahhh, me bookmarks are here.  ACK!  I can't open another window with bookmarks!!   I play with this for 20 minutes.  I go into help with Yahoo and Nortons, to no avail!  I am getting pissed.  I know how to open everything I want the other way, but opening bookmarks is sooo much easier.  I step away and watch some tv.

I am now back, it has occurred to me I had popup blockers before this version of Nortons.  Aha!!!  The google one is causing the problem.  I turn it off, and viola, I can open things from me bookmarks, in another window, just like before.   I have now been working on updating me computer for almost 5 hours!

For now, I will just turn off the popup blocker.  Perhaps tomorrow I will uninstall the google one as it is the problem.  Wonder how long that will take?                           

At any rate, Happy Daylight Savings!

Tact.  A small word with big aspirations.  Definition:  The ability to appreciate the delicacy of a situation and to do or say the kindest or most fitting thing; diplomacy.  Other sources say the following:  Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy.  Tact.  Easier said than done.  ~sigh~

   On a lighter note, the pirates are coming!!!  Yo ho!

Something else I just found in me travels today:  An old French theory-The only way to handle temptation successfully is to yield to it.    Interesting, no?

Have a great week!
