Likely because I was a HUGE fan of theirs in the late eighties (when they were making really good 'hair metal' music...One of the funniest ad campaigns I've ever seen!

Friggin' awesome.  I love the creative work on that!  Thanks for sharing Hoss.

I agree, awesome ad. 

Too bad I hate the way Norton takes over your computer and resets choices like whether it should call Microsoft every time you turn it on. (At least the last version of Norton I installed on my mom's computer.)  She has an iMac now.

Every time we get a "security update" at work, it seems like the computer is slower than before. It's bad enough that I cannot run Outlook and the CAD program at the same time if I have a big CAD file.

I hate Norton and McAfee.  Honestly, I think they are more viral than any of the risks that are out there.  There's a limited range of websites I go to, my pop up blocker keeps unwanted sites from popping up, and I don't open attachments from people I don't know and I don't open suspicious attachments from people I do.

Great ad campaign, worst antivirus software.

I use AVG free version plus sometimes adaware and spybot. Works 1000% better.

I've been on a bit of a 'Dokken binge' in the last three or four days.  I was one of those guys who wore his hair down to the middle of his back after I graduated high school.  I went to every metal concert known to man that came here in the late eighties.  Music has went downhill IMO save for a few good bands.

Too bad Don and George Lynch couldn't resolve their differences.  Dokken without George Lynch is a little like Pink Floyd without David Gilmour or Queensryche without Chris DeGarmo.

You are a drummer, right?  Do you still play?

No kit, but use practice pads still frequently enough.  Kit is a little out of my price range right now, even for a small 5 or 6 piece.  And it's not necessarily the kit itself that breaks you; it's the brass.
