    must have programs

    Ok so I got a new harddrive from a bud that doubles the storage space but I need some advice. Im going to be running 2000 pro but Im looking for suggestions on programs, most notably security. I currently run Norton AntiVirus and spybot and those seem to keep my system running pretty safe. Im also a fan of netscape for its pop up blocking ability. Any suggestions for some additional programs? Any cool programs I should download anyway just cause theyre helpful? Thanks guys

      Do people actually DL programs anymore, or just porn VCD's?

            Run Windows XP SP2 and just be careful about where you browse and what you download. That's what I'm doing and I've never had a virus in my life. I don't bother with antiviral programs, those are for people that use AOL :P

                I dont like XP, I like the stability and network friendly nature of 2000 pro

                  I didn't like XP much.. till i figured out how to slap the shit outta it..

                  plus, SP2 actually makes it kinda nice.

                    Use the old one for a Linux partition, and have some fun.

                          Well, as far as the design looks... right now, on my workstation, it looks like I'm running Windows 95/98 ;)
