You were charged almost three hundred dollars to be guaranteed you won't get a virus in the next 2 yrs?
I'm just trying to ascertain I read that right.

$281 for 2 years virus protection?
I'm not being funny cars but I think they may have seen the big neon sign flashing above your head that says “sucker!”

I'd be willing to bet that Cars doesn't engage in risky online behavior where a virus would be a concern. Something is not right, that fee is exceedingly high for simple virus protection.

Well, actually it's not just for virus protection. It also includes two years of 24/7/365 help desk support, for any problems on both my new laptop, as well as the old desk top. Oh yeah, it's good for up to "3" pc's, so I can use it on my FL pc as well.
So. . . . it's worth it to me for peace of mind.
Hot damn, it's "H O T" out there!!! Outside themo, (in the sun) pegged at 120!

My wife and daughter get unlimited helpdesk support for their laptops for free 24/7.

Not technically in the Adirondacks, but close enough for me.

Oh boy. Where do you go? Do you have a basement?
It's pouring here. Good day to stay home with a good book.

Yes, I have a basement, don't you remember me posting pix of my itty bitty wine cellar that's down there?
We got a massive amount of rain, the kind of rain that's usually associated with hurricanes here.

68 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcast. Still quite muggy.
In conclusion typically British and shit (as with so many other things).

Since I'm not at the lake this summer, I'm loving the cooler weather we've been having since that god awful heatwave that sucked the life out of everyone.

It's perfect East Coast weather. I'd love to have this year round...except for November & December.
