And now it's December...

Yep, the whole summer and fall have passed.  Incredible.

First tip, if you bought a PC that has MS Office Starter on it and you want to upgrade to Office 2010 Home and Student, buy the new S/W in a store.  Then, completely remove Office Starter.  Be sure to reboot your PC after removing Office Starter.  THEN and ONLY THEN, install Office 2010 Home & Student.  Oh, and make sure you buy the 3 pack so you can install Office 2010 Home and Student on 3 separate PC's.  But DO NOT lend it out to your friends.  Keep it home in a safe place.

Beware, ANDROID devices are particularly susceptible to malware.  There have been many notes on the web about this.  And not much in the way of A/V, anti-malware and such for Android devices.
