I hate Microsoft and everything connected with it
squeegee:
I never liked Norton, in the past it always gave me problems, maybe try different anti- virus software?
I've used Bitdefender and Avast, both are ok, nothing special but they work.
My IE9 works fine, and my Firefox at the same time, I use both daily.
The notion that no one uses IE anymore is not quite true.

Norton sucks, as does Mcafee. Total system resource hogs.
I use (ready for it....)
Microsoft Security Essentials.
It's light weight, transparent and pretty much bullet proof. I've had zero probs since installing it years ago. It updates along with everything else in Windows update. Total set and forget.
IE - it's pretty much web designers that have to use it to check compatibility for the poor sobs that haven't discovered Firefox or Chrome. :D

I use Norton and Chrome. I only fire up IE or FF when I'm working on my web site to see how it looks on other browsers.
To all you Mac users, my next computer will be a Mac. Just not looking forward to having to purchase new application software and I hope the Epson 3000 works on a Mac.
I've been using a PC since before Windows came out, and everything was command line DOS or Unix, so change can be hard :)

You'll wonder why you waited so long. Worth every penny.

Via Accurip or FastRIP yes (well, sort of, I never got stellar results with either using the 3k).
Also works like a champ with gutenprint. You need to spend some time deep editing the settings but I got results very close to the Windows driver out of guten.
....but that's it. If you aren't using a rip (you oughta be), the very best films come out of the XP driver. For this I recommend installing Vmware Fusion and XP sp2 as a virtual machine, it works great.
For your connection I've had an ok time with the parllel to usb but the ethernet is far better.
Getting the Mac OS is worth every penny blown on the hardware in my opinion. It really speeds up simple everyday tasks, let's you work quicker and cleaner and, most importantly, allows you to focus on your job not your computer. I'll pay extra for that any old day.
