Yes it was. Very good, young squire.
Haha, I actually really enjoyed APUSH this past year. Unlike some of my fellow classmates. :D
I think all my offspring did also. They had a GREAT teacher. Almost made me want to go back and audit the course.

Is that score even possible? I thought it was always a multiple of 10.

That link just led to a site with a bunch of ads on it that kept trying to open pop-up windows. But I like where your head was at ;)

Well, view her at your own risk. My AVG popped up quickly blocking a virus.

Hmmm. My Norton AV didn't say a word about any virus. Think I'll do scan. Thanks for the heads up.

An awesome tool I use at the shop and on my computer every couple weeks is MalwareBytes Antimalware. You can get it here, it finds all sorts of crap that sneaks through. Small to download, quick to install and to run.

Anyone else have some free quality anti-virus software?
I wiped my hard drive about a year ago to clean up all the crap, but never got anything better than the first free program I was recommended...

AVG. It's all you need and works great, also free.
And since this needs to go back to topic....in 1546 Henry the 8th founded Cambridge. And probably thought about whacking his wife.

It looked like they wanted to charge for the software, so I downloaded AdAware (free version) instead. I've used that, and Spybot, before.

What about the registry repair program that was on the same page as the Malware download? Is this a good or bad program?

Antimalware is free (There is a pay version, but you don't have to ever get it). Ad-Aware is ok, but not as good as it used to be, because it installs services now, and will slow your computer down. That registry repair program is crap. They make it seem like that's the program you are supposed to download, I don't like that about download.com. Spybot is always good, but antimalware is faster, and does a better job.

Yeah, I clicked on download the registry thing by mistake and installed it, but didn't let it fix the 386 things it found wrong, and have deleted the program.

Maybe tomorrow I'll get the antimalware program. I'll delete the AdAware if I do.

Be careful though about what it identifies as a virus. I screwed up my desktop by not paying attention to what it was deleting and just allowed it to go ahead. Turns out it deleted a couple of system files and I had to reload Vista from scratch.
And since this needs to go back to topic....in 1546 Henry the 8th founded Cambridge.

Which Cambridge? The university was founded in 1209 and the town existed long before the university did.

Oooops...I gave an incomplete statement. Trinity College, Cambridge was founded in 1546.
Looks like J.B. Duke and Henry had something in common.

Does that put Zack Morris in close league with Chuck Norris?
