I am downloading FIX-IT 8 professional as I type!! It is a slow download on my antique computer but I am having problems with viruses and such so I hope this will be just what I need.

Bumping up for the morning crowd!! I'll throw in my 2 cents that I love making my own ringtones.

I have them customized to different family members and friends. My kids get such a kick out of hearing "The Chicken Dance" when their Aunt Kelly calls!

I just ordered:

Kids Spanish. Cameron is fascinated wtih Spanish right now so I figure we'll encourage that this summer and see how it goes.

They have some great prices. I think I may go back and order the 3rd grade game they have for her to mess with this summer too.

Lucky news! Out of the blue, Avantquest just put out a 50% off one item coupon. They redesigned their website and wanted to celebrate.

I just added the coupon to SR.

downloaded the free trial of the system suite8. I d/led it as soon as i saw the contest up but I wanted a chance to try it out before I posted to here so I could give some feedback. I love that it has SO many options for security on it. It does in one program what all 3 of my other programs do (ccleaner, avg and spybot) I love that each thing you run gives you a report that can be printed in case you need to get out of it to go look for something on the hard drive. Each thing also gives the option to fix the problem. I love that you can also go in and...oh crap i cant think of the word but, it is where it moves files so that the free space in between is removed and gives more free space on computer. I didn't like that it made the start up of my computer take about 3-5 minutes longer. Each time i started up it had to initialize the firewall and that took a long time. i didn't like that I didn't have an option to just turn it off. I would have to go in and change the settings on everything instead of turning it off to do something. I don't know how it would affect my ability to recieve credits since it seems like a pretty tight security system so I would have liked to be able to turn it off to do offers and then turn it back on to surf. I am still playing with it to decide if I want to purchase it but there are more positives than negatives right now. Does anyone use this already and know if it affects credits?
