I renew my subscription to Norton each year it is due by credit card through them on the internet.

If I change computers how do I get that back into the new computer as I dont have a disc or anything I just do it over the internet. I have the original disc that I purchase 2 years ago but have since upgraded over the internet as I said.

has a user list, which you, as administrator, can have password protected so users cannot change the list. What we do is put on sites that we approve. Anything else has to be done on the laptop in view...

You can buy Internet Security every year anytime from Jan through April tax time, and get rebates. Just as cheap as NAV and includes it, as I said.

which will give you a site list that you can add to, for example neopets.com or barbie.com. I know McAfee has a feature where you can set up windows of time where she can be on only say, between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. M-F.  I think even Windows XP has parental control where you can download approved lists, etc. Keep in mind though that if you use a "screening" program, there's a lot of stuff that can get through, such as wet t-shirt parties, etc. Probably not a problem with your daughter but can be with boyz. And I just say no to IM.

get a printout of your payment and if they don't offer it, ask for it.   Be sure to check right away that they are showing you paid and if you have a receipt your payment was put in the system, which should eliminate this issue in the future. 

Billing an insurance company will give the insurance company a good laugh and will probably create further problems. 

Wondering if those of us on this board have noticed that credit card companies will be increasing their interest rates along with the minimum payment due soon.  How will this affect some people who can barely make the minimum payments now.  Any insight greatly appreciated. 

over the internet?  I hesitate to give out social security number and personal things on the net.  Is it okay or not?  Thanks

I also had problems with travelocity, which ultimately was routed back to hotels.com, where I booked it for one date, they reserved it for a different date, and I ended up having to pay for both dates, PLUS a HUGE fee.  I challenged them on it, but nothing ended up happening, other than me biting my tongue and paying it.

HOWEVER, since you were told that they would credit the amount, you need to talk to Hotels.com first.  Make a concentrated effort to speak to supervisor after supervisor until they give you an apology and credit it.  ALSO (and, if they refuse to give you the remaining credit), call your credit card company and explain the situation.  They can do a few different things here.  They can, and probably will remove the over-the-limit fee for you, if you explain the situation, as long as you don't have a long over-the-limit history.  Don't let them tell you that they can't remove it, just keep going up the chain of command until someone does.  All CSRs in that situation are able to remove the charge, and if they don't, ask for their manager (they will just put you through to a phone queue where the people have higher capacity to remove stuff like that).  The second thing that they can, and will do, is, if hotels.com won't do it, you can dispute the charge, explain what happened, and it will be removed while they research it.  Most of the time, they remove it and you never hear about it again, other than to tell you that it's been taken care of.  If they decide it was a valid charge, which they won't, they will add it back to your credit card balance after getting hotels.com to prove that they provided the necessary service.

Make sure you contact your credit card company, even if hotels.com refunds your money, at least to get the over-the-limit fee waived.  I would still dispute the charge, and that way, it is covered if they say they are going to refund it and don't.  If you dispute it, and they end up refunding your money, just alert the credit card company, and it will be a wash.  Good luck!

I am bringing my question to the top from my response to someone's post below.

I live in the country and do not even have cable available - only dial-up. 

I recently purchased a laptop and it only came with an ExpressCard slot (which it is my understanding that laptops in the future will be built with these and not PC slots). The ExpressCards have not hit the local Verizon or Sprint stores yet but I hear they are to soon and I plan to try one. I hope to be able to drop my dial-up ISP and just use my laptop for my on-line job. I also have my own local account where I pick up tapes and deliver their transcription and I can continue to use my regular PC for that work if I choose to.

Anyway, I would really appreciate knowing how you like your "card" for connecting to the Internet and how well it works out for you. Do you know if Verizon or Sprint has more coverage area? Have you traveled much with yours to see if you are able to get connections? How reliable has this been and how fast of a connection rate do you get on average?

I sure would appreciate any info you could share regarding this. Thanks so much.

I am not real computer literate but am wondering if I couldn't get unlimited Internet with a cell phone plan and use that for my on-line job/Internet connection exclusively. I have found plans for around $70/month.

If so, I was thinking too I could possibly give up my land line phone, Callwave, my dial-up ISP (as that is all we have available where live) and actually save a little money by doing so. I don't make/receive a lot of land line calls and I have a TracFone cell phone that I don't use much now. I get excellent reception with that where I live. We have a huge tower within walking distance of where I live but we live out in the "sticks". :D I know my connection would be dependent on the reception where I live and the cell phone service I would use. I am not sure which one truly has the best coverage and/or who may be using the tower by our home but TracFone apparently does. :)

TIA. 

First, the company I worked for at the time did give me a 2-cent raise when I got the CMT (which was the main purpose for my getting it).  After that, I was right at the glass ceiling again.  Since then I started working for my local hospital, making more money than ever, without the up-to-date CMT. 

Personally that last thing I want to do is give my hard-earned money to AAMT (or whatever their new name is now)--they aren't doing anything to increase our wages, they aren't doing anything to keep our jobs here, and they aren't doing anything to retain the integrity of the profession (i.e., prevent ASR, which is a totally degradation of the profession). 

I'd rather flush my money down the toilet than support that organization.

ABC did not want to renew Star's contract this coming August-September.  She knew that before the announcement that Rosie would be replacing Meredith.  I, for one, am ecstatic that Star is leaving The View.  Barbara Walters knew all about it prior - it's all over the web news.  They all are so annoying except Joy Behar.  Her annoying ways are part of her stand-up but I believe that Joy Behar is the most open-minded one on the show and I wish they'd dump Elisabeth.  I watch so much less now that Meredith is gone (and I didn't like Meredith the first years either but grew to like her the best).

Oh well, we ALL can agree to disagree! 

I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers.  Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer.  Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card?  Did it make a difference. 

Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you.  You have helped me many times. 

I have Windows XP, service pack 2.  Norton works fantastic.  It catches everything.  I do remember having trouble with downloading at first. Just uninstall and try again. You'll be glad you did.  Run Ad-Aware and Spybot every few days and you're good-to-go.

There's a difference between the free version of Norton/AVG and the pay-for-it versions. I paid $50 for Norton 2005. With AVG or Norton, I believe you need to pay for it to get the protection you need.
