*wearily* Yeah, they're all compatible.

Norton Antivirus has an XP-compatible edition. It's worked fine, till this week. Now, every time Outlook tries to send an email, Norton scans it, and I seem to run fairly good odds my whole damned computer will crash completely, despite all these programs playing nicely last week.

Let me amend that. Not Norton's problem. Same pile of horse shit if I keep it from scanning at all. Now my laptop has frozen during boot.

I hate computers. Why do I work with them, again?

Same reason I do. We're cursed with being good at them. Once the world senses this, it won't let you go, and no matter how far away you run (professionally speaking), the demon machines will find you. It's not worth fighting; they'll just suck you right back in. (If they didn't, I'd be a professional cook somewhere by now, most likely.)

Point, point. Besides, I really do like them most of the time - as long as they're working fairly well! It seems to be Outlook over the VPN, so I will just stop checking my work email at home. Which is annoying - it makes work-from-home less plausible - but not very; I only work from home when the weather stinks or I'm sick, and if I cannot get email they can cope. (I wish they had the email server set up so I didn't have to be on the VPN to use it, however.)
