Norton is a system pig and their subscription rates are, well I wouldn't pay them. When I use any virus protection at all (rarely) I use Avast. The personal addition is free. You will get a license good for one year. When it expires go back to their website and get a new license. No subscription costs. And its a good reliable product. However. I work with computers ALL DAY. This is my job, and its what I do for fun when I get home. I run NO virus protection at home (other than an occasional check scan). I have had a grand total of 2 virii infections in the 11 years I've had/used a personal computer. TWO. And the first of those came from an infected MS DOS install disk (way to go MS!) Avoiding virii is NOT hard folks. Don't use MS Outlook OR Internet Explorer for ANYTHING. Period. Don't open email attachments unless you have specifically requested the said attachment. Don't follow links from random forwarded email ("click on this to see a cute kitten!" yeah right.) Don't download screen savers/etc advertised in flashing images on websites. And for the love of little green apples run FIREFOX with adblock and java script stopping enabled. There getting off my soap box. So. Avast if you must but know that a constantly running virus protection package is NOT strictly required. You can avoid 99.9% of virii by simply using some common sense. Remember ALL virus protection is out of date. By the time these security companies discover a virus in the wild and update their databases to protect you against its already been running loose for hours, days, maybe even weeks. NO amount of virus protection is 100% effective, you MUST protect yourself as well. (You wouldn't wander around alone in downtown Detroit at 2AM just because you had a bottle of mace in your purse, right? Same idea.)

You might try doing a site search for "gardening software" - there are about 700 posts in different forums. There is one in the Landscape design forum dealing with Mac OS 10 software.

You will probably want to uninstall the trial version that came with your new computer and install the 2003 version. However, unless I'm wrong the 2003 version could only be installed on one computer and when it's time to validate it you will have to contact Microsoft and explain the situation and hope they allow you to validate it on your new computer.

I'm sure there are pro's on here who use software, but I don't personally know anyone who uses software. I do know that draftsmen and architectural drawers use software because they don't know code and what's required when doing job specs. What do you need to plan out that you can't do with a floor plan, pencil, and calculator?
