Yesterday was busy.  I spent several hours working on my Windows Update problem.  Microsoft\u2019s first set of tech support suggestions did not work.  I spent a couple hours looking for a denturist.  I spent a couple researching antivirus software.  Norton interferes with IE, and my subscription is up in a month.  Today I expect more of the same.  I am current on comments.<\/font><\/p>\n
