What is the boot time on that? 2 hours?

Even if it does run OK, a copy of Norton that old will be practically useless against viruses anyway....

Almost. Every version of IE is easily customized by spyware! Oh, and let's not forget the 50 toolbars people end up (I've seen screens that are 80% toolbar).

870657 2010-04-05 15:02:00 Well the only toolbar I've ever installed is the Canon Easy Web Print, it's actually useful sometimes and isn't malware.

But I too have seen people who have far too many toolbars (in fact for the kind they have, 1 is too many)

That's right the only one in that list which is genuinely usable the first one, the fourth one is OK and the others well they just suck big time especially the last one it's almost like they were invented by Apple
