[TheForge] Removal of Norton

[CGRAF]

Seeing as we are doing a memory lane trip here.
My first was a Timex/Sinclair 16K  Programs were loaded off of a 
cassette player.
  There was no software.You got to write your own. The options were TS 
Basic of binary programming.

Learned bookkeeping writing a simple accounting program for it. I also 
wrote an estimating program and a calculator program for doing duct work.

Then I bought a Mac.

Years later I went to a PC and have had three since.

  BTW I agree Norton is a tool of the devil.
  I have had good service from both the free and paid versions of AVG.
