Subject: Re: Off Top: AVG Interesting
hmm that is interesting
i know my moms avg said the experation thing but she couldnt download
7.5 because she had windows98 and i let her borrow my xp home version
since i had another key for it and she wasn't protected, but now we
upgraded her to xp with very very bare minimum of ram which i get
complaints of it is slow and then they ask me "will mine run<whatever"
and i have to say no but thats another story anyway, the avg thing i
will have to try it for myself if i ever get windows back i mean when i
do lol
pro is to con as progress is to congress
