I have been using PC-cillin for the past 5 years on three machines, never had a virus yet, nuff said. I auto-update one machine with new virus patterns, and manually update the other two machines, at lease 1 new and sometimes two updates per week. I can find no reason to use anything else...

According to the MSI Folks @ thier booth at Comdex yesterday, the K7T Pro2A will be an interum card to be eventually replaced by the K7T Turbo. I don't expect to see to many K7TA Pro2-A cards to hit the market, if at all. The motherboard market is getting as bad as the Video Cards with new...

I have a Plextor 8/20 on one machine and an old Ricoh 6100S on this machine, I have never been able to get Adaptec Easy Cd Creator to run properly on either machine. Get Nero 5.0, much better program IMHO. Radarman
