Gordon, et all,

I didn't mention this because very few people care or are interested. My
primary (internet, office, PIM, accounting, other business functions,
etc) OS is Linux in which I have a dual-boot setup so I can boot between
Linux and Windows on the same PC.

FREE Firewall (built-in to Linux)
FREE PIM (Personal Information Manager) (Kontact) (built-in to Linux)
FREE Office (www.openoffice.org - OpenOffice)
FREE Browser (www.mozilla.org - Firefox)
FREE Email (www.mozilla.org - Thunderbird)
FREE Accounting (www.linuxcanasa.com - Quasar Accounting)
NO NEED for Antivirus or Anti-Spyware
NO NEED for Defrag (ever)
