If you're looking for a great romantic comedy, check out Love Actually. We watched it this weekend and had many good laughs. It's a bit schmaltzy and sentimental at times, and there are probably a few too many characters to try to keep track of, but it was really a lot of fun. If you haven't seen it yet, put it at the top of your Netflix rental queue.
Here are a few more miscellaneous notes about Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 9.0:
The Macintosh client is no longer included on the media, you have to contact Symantec Support via phone, and they'll give you an FTP address from which you can download it.
The packager tool is no longer supported, and even though it's included on the CD, and the documentation included with it tells you where you can locate the .pmi file to build a package, the .pmi file isn't in that location, and you can't actually use it to build a package. Why they included it, I don't know, but when I called them, they said that the documentation is wrong.
Anyone else getting the sense that they hurried this out the door a bit early?
Alex Scoble has a nice writeup about fire suppression systems over on his blog. I want to see the demo of the Sapphire product where the rep pours a can of it on his laptop. Heck, I want to sell that product just so I can freak people out doing that demo...
For those of you about to receive Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 9.0, there's a "known bug" with it. In short, it doesn't work with the beta of Windows XP Service Pack 2, because Auto-Protect fails to load. I called Symantec's support line (1-800-927-4017) and they confirmed that this is something they know about, but they currently have no workarounds for the problem, and they don't know if it's going to be something they fix, or something Microsoft fixes in the final version of the Service Pack. This means that we're not going to be distributing the new version to the incoming students at Orientation, as any new computers they purchase prior to starting the fall semester may include Service Pack 2, causing the software not to work. Version 8.1 continues to work fine on the Service Pack 2 beta, it just doesn't have some of the nice new features of 9.0, such as spyware scanning.
Well, I knew it was too good to be true, the PowerBook 15" had to go back today, someone else snapped it up before my department got the funding all figured out. So, I put in a request for a more expensive 12" PowerBook of the newest variety, we'll see how that goes. Honestly, I wanted the 12" to begin with, but now that I had the 15" widescreen for a few days, I got spoiled...
