Donald Trump fired someone for excessive self-promotion?

ETA D'oh!

Software Question

Yes, I know there is a separate technology board but I want advice from basic computer users, not uber geeks.

My antivirus, firewall and anti-spyware protection are expiring pronto and I want to know whether to stick with what I've got or change.

I've been using McAfee Anti-Virus and Personal Firewall and Webroot anti-spyware. Is there something better for an average web user or should I renew what I've got? Is Norton better?

I'm in the process of switching PCs so a software that I could transfer to the new machine would be preferable.

Talk about rotten timing. Let the future husband give away $44 billion and THEN get married.

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett married his longtime companion, Astrid Menks, in a private ceremony Wednesday, the Omaha World-Herald reported in a copyrighted story in its Thursday editions.

Buffett’s daughter, Susan, hosted the wedding at her Omaha home. She said her father and Menks, 60, were married by Douglas County District Judge Patricia Lamberty in a 15-minute ceremony on Buffett’s 76th birthday.

“It’s her only and his last (wedding),” Susan Buffett said, recalling her father’s take on the ceremony.

I love the name Astrid. I don't know why. There was a girl in my son's camp this summer called Astrid, and I felt compelled to make friends with Astrid's mother - because anyone who could come up with such a good name was sure to be cool.

I was not wrong.

I was thinking it is 50% the former and 50% the latter. Thoughts?

Slave, would I find it more or less tolerable to work for Trump. You should have as much insight on this as anyone.....I am think he serves more pie, yes?

I have McAfee and haven't had any problems. My ex-boyfriend works for Symantec and swears that Norton is better, but he still hasn't sent me a free copy so until then, I'll stick with McAfee.

I like the name Astrid because Astrid Lindgren wrote the Pippi Longstocking books and I love Pippi Longstocking.

Was she the actual inventor? I thought Voldemorte invented that name?

Astrid in "Back Beat" was pretty hot. I don't know what she looks like in real life.

2. And it's been cheaper at Costco (usually $20 after rebate) than downloading it from McAfee's website.
