[TheForge] Removal of Norton

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

Having gotten a frigging mac, i find i have other problems, though, admittedly a lot less of them,
and i can't fix them myself like i could on the PC. 
With the PC i had to learn a lot of tricks to cope,
now i feel too old and tired to relearn that crap anew.

You're welcome.

Or install OpenBSD on your box.   Secure, reliable... yeah.
