Absolutely brilliant news!

I consider it utter stupidity on the part of Symantec to have stopped support in the first place.
Once you kick a person in the mouth, they somehow don’t want to come back for some more of the same treatment
at a later date. >:(
There are many other FREE alternatives. 
I completely agree.
$ymantec are just as bad as Micro$oft.
You can always vote with your wallet and use Ubuntu 
Actually, I’ve never found anything to complain about with either one.
That’s precisely what I’ve done to a great extent, except that it didn’t start out that way and that I’m using Kubuntu. I only use Windows when there is something that needs to be done that Linux can’t do.

I only use Windows when there is something that needs to be done that Linux can't do.No such thing. Its usually the users inability to use the product that's at fault not the other way around. ;D
I personally still prefer to use Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system.

[b]Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.[/b]http://blogs.computerworld.com/node/4290Have you ever heard the phrase “those who can, do; those who can’t, teach”, or its variation, “those who can’t do, teach”? Or, better yet, have you heard this one, “that’s not how we do it in the real world. The book is not right.”? If you have never heard these phrases, then I am sure that at some point in your career, you will. These are the words of the “experienced employee”. The non-student type who found no significance in their college courses, i.e. the “hands-on” type that knows all. These phrases have often sparked other conversations. Conversations that actually question the need for degrees, or any form of continuing education.
Those that can not “do” nor “teach” usually preach.
Those that can not "do" nor "teach" usually preach.Preach what ??? that is the question. In order to preach effectively you need to be able to [b]listen[/b], [b]do[/b] and, [b]teach[/b]. (As someone licensed to preach, I have first hand knowledge. :) ) "He who only preaches and never listens, is the biggest fool in his/her audience." ;D

Preach what is right, highly relevant right now with that so called Pastor in Florida and there was me thinking he would be preaching tolerance. But seeing the news report and him with a Glock on his desk I have to wonder what commandments he follows.

His own. He’s one of those fools I was talking about. ;D
Hi Bob…
Have you tried to install or play games written for Windows on a Linux system?
Regards…
No but then I also wouldn’t try to run apps written for Linux on a windows system. ;D
Hi Bob…
Normally, no, but the ones ported to Windows usually do pretty well.

Hi YoKenny…
I noticed your .gif of the Pastor giving a sermon and while it may reflect how you see them, I have to say the Pastors at my Church are a friendly, caring, laid back group of people. Here is last Sunday’s sermon by the Director of our Children’s Ministry, as an example.
