I vaguely remembered Bill Gates saying that 640K ought to be enough for anybody but I thought he was talking about money.

My wife's machine could use a WinPatrol license if she wins while I keep doing my own Linux patrolling.

I wasn't sure if the answer was nail or toe but since neither one was offer I would guess it is D. tail.

Thanks, Corinne. No, I did not see anything since - I've been checking my spam folder and had the eset email address you gave added to my contacts list. I will check my windows live (alternate address I listed) and let you know ,,, no, nothing there either.

Do you have spam automatically removed?

archp2009
Posted

no - only manual removal - Is resending license info to same email address a problem?

Please work with Corrine via PM on resolution. All good.
