I can apply for twice as many jobs in half the time.

I bought an HP Pavilion Elite E9220Y with the idea this should be all I need. It was packaged with Windws 7 and I bought Office. Next should be my Photoshop software. Hey if I can photoshop I might be ready for the personal sites.

Any advice on antivirus software would be appreciated. I would like to keep my computer virus free as I have my last for all this time. Ya I know no one writes a virus for Windows 98 anymore.

Well starting Tuesday I will be on twice as much for half the time.
I recommend Avast! free antivirus. AVG free is OK too, though. Not need to pay for AV software.

If Norton is on you machine, blow it away ASAP. It is resource hog, messes your computer in various ways, and isn't any better.
