Although I thought that that was 5.2 but am unable to check at the moment. Win Me is 4.90.3000 and XP 5.1.

If you are running Win Me be truly thankful for this.

Guest Eric Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Re: Windows ME anti-virus I'm sure I can come across as rude sometimes, but I try to at least treat others in kind. I was only being rude to Mike M because he was rude first. You on the other hand have been rude to me for no apparent reason. I have never travelled outside of the country, partly because our country is so big most of us never have to leave it, and partly because I can't afford to travel. Right now I can barely pay the bills, so I couldn't even afford the gas to get to Canada and back. If I had time and money I would travel, at least to where we could drive (Canada/Mexico). If foreigners are all as rude as you, I'm not sure seeing those places would be worth having to deal with the people.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Re: Windows ME anti-virus My first wife is from Venezuela. I lived there for most of the five years we were married and we have a daughter who now lives with me (she's 29.) My fourth and current wife is Canadian, from the Yukon. We met in a Yahoo! Chat room called Canaduh over ten years ago, courted for a year via ICQ before finally meeting, and married four months later -- had to wait for her divorce. I've been to B.C and the Yukon, but only to visit (and to move my wife and her kids.) Whereas my wife has seen nearly all 50 states (when she was young, she was a carnie and then a long-haul truck driver), I've only been to a handful if you don't count one long Greyhound trip from Seattle to Florida. In fact, I've been to more foreign countries than U.S. states, *including* that bus trip. My Dad was a captain for Pan Am, 747's. I got to fly for a nominal fee ($13) and took some advantage of that, though not as much as I should have. My third wife and our two sons still live in Hawaii. I lived there for five years in the 90's. I know that's not "foreign", but it *is* overseas, <g>. I think that's the only state my current wife has never been to. Good thing, too.
