Aug. 14th, 2002 02:38 amDid you know that it is possible to spend an entire day downloading and installing a registered copy of Norton AntiVirus because of (initially) a web browser incompatibility?
Well, it is.
Their site is coded so that one cannot click on the "download now" *.gif and be able to save the target file. In all the mucking about with browsers, uninstall programs, and phone calls that ensued, I somehow managed to screw up my computer's TCP/IP protocol installation as well.
(Yes, I realize that the true geeks out there would have probably had no problem dealing with any of this.)
