A couple of links + internet security question

[pez]

Has anyone tried Safari (now available for Windows!), is it any good?

Thinking of purchasing an internet security software since Norton has expired and it's using more of the system resources than I'd like. It's a contest between Kaspersky vs AVG. AVG is good, Kaspersky has stellar reviews, but although it's about the same price as AVG, the licence is only 1 year vs AVG's 2 years.

I could just stick to the free version... the thing is, because I'm using Microsoft's ICS, I can't use free ZoneAlarm as my firewall (using Sygate atm, don't like it much, it's ugly and annoying). So I thought I might as well pay for a whole firewall + antivirus software. Any advice on this?

(re Norton: after uninstalling it from the laptop, the average temperature of the machine has gone down by about 10C. What the hell.)

I think I've just about sorted all the email accumulated over the past 10 days.

BBC Breakfast had reached the pinnacle of being punny this morning. But I can't remember the actual puns. Something about bees...

Safari is the default browser on mac, but I prefer firefox. If gmail would talk to it a little better I might be more keen on it. *grin* (Though with the newer version perhaps it will.)

I'm using Safari right now, actually~ *on my dad's shiny, shiny laptop*

hmmmmmmmmm. Might give it a go. And uninstall it if it sucks. XD

It does... most of the same things as firefox, really. But less websites like this version. (On mac it does talk to livejournal better than firefox, although firefox has been doing pretty well at hammering out the bugs in the mac version lately.)
