I agree with Chris. It is annoying. I am sure that the person that redesigned the page said "Oooh! Look! Fly out menus! Ain't that cool code?"

Suggestions for AntiVirus?I orginally ran Norton Internet Security. However, after replacing my Pocket PC that ran Windows Mobile 2003 with a new Pocket PC running Windows Mobile 5, my computer and ActiveSync failed to recognize the new Mobile 5 Pocket PC. After an hours long internet chat with HP (involving many reboots, ActiveSync reinstalls, and Norton reinstalls), it was determined that Norton Internet Security was preventing the new Pocket PC from being recognized. I am not going to run without Anti-Virus or a firewall. So, I switched to the security suite my wife ran on her computer, McAfee. McAfee ran fine on my computer for the year until the new year's version. Then, about every two to three weeks, always on a weekend, my computer would lose it's McAfee subscription information. It would say "Subscription cannot be verified". McAfee's customer support response was always, "Uninstall the software and reinstall". Then McAfee would run for another two to three weeks. I decided to give them 3 strikes. After the third occurrance, I was given a script that saves and restores the subscription information. But, I was determined to switch from being a Beta tester of McAfee's released RTM and retail boxed, Internet Security product and switched to Kaspersky. I have had no problems with Kaspersky. It was tough as nails getting a refund from McAfee since there is a 30-day refund window from purchasing, but since it never provided full 24/7 protection for less than three weeks, I finally got a refund from McAfee. My wife had not had a problem with McAfee, but she renewed in mid-year instead of the first of the year and I reckon that McAfee fixed the problems after many users had complained on their forum of the problem I experienced.

Finally: Microsoft Linux!I remember seeing this website a few years ago on Slashdot. It was one of the many April Fool's web pages. The domain was created April 2, 1999.

Problem creating an articleThis is my first article posting, but I filled in all of the blanks, except for Coauthor ID since I am the sole author. Basename: NasaTvSchedule Article Title: "NASA Space Shuttle TV Schedule Transfer to Outlook Calendar" One line description: "A program that reads NASA mission TV schedules in Excel files and copies the schedule to Outlook." Location and Subsection: Office Development, Office Programming License is GPL, and the Contributor's agreement checkbox is checked. Language, Platform, Technology, Audience, Skill level: checked. Got all that covered. Click the [Next: Article uploads >>] button and I get: "There was a problem creating your article." Everthing I have tried fails to advance to Step 2. Anyone have any suggestions, tips, or is there currently a problem submitting articles? Thanks, Ralph Hightower
