You have my condolences. The closest airport to where I used to live was in the same town as a pulp and paper mill. I dreaded flying because the smell there made me sick.
Recently a friend and I were driving back and happened to go through said town, we had the windows rolled up and the AC going. Suddenly the most horrible noxious smell invaded my nose, fortunately friend mentioned that the paper mill must be going. Broke into laughter, apologized, and admitted that I was worried he had just passed some rancid gas.

I can live with antivirus if that's all they do.
These days though seems every av product comes bundled with a couple dozen bottles of snake oil and enforced system cripples. We've all accused ms of bloating their products and removing user control/settings, these guys have taken that to a whole new level.
Actually I only use mbam 1.75 on-demand, common sense full-time, windows firewall both ways.

the any key okay

Production or IT?
I did years in corrugated fiberboard shipping container manufacturing while taking some time off from college. For most of the last 2 years of it, I was working 12 hour shifts, with one day off every two weeks. It was the inspiration I needed to get my a$$ back to school!

Well, it's certainly not like an auto-installed anti-virus definition update has ever had a false-positive on one of our shared .NET assemblies, deleted every instance of it from the server, and rendered several of our websites inoperable last Saturday morning. 
The false-positive was removed in the next update, but I still needed to force it to check for updates, as it was too soon after the last update. And then copy the file back to every "bin" directory that used it.

Them thar's a ponderous question, Podner, a virtual septic field of ontologies floating in epistemology.
If I had to poke a stick into it, I might opine that these warez are a kind of chimeric cross of immune-system, and excretory functions, even a kind of necessarily symbiotic microbiome line of defense.
But, I think I'll keep this here schtick fresh.

Recording stuff is not the problem. Always having to spool to the right position before you can continue is a little disruptive.

I just love that kind of article, like this one in the news section today.
In 1980 I read the cover article from this magazine[^] about the new 16 bit processors (Like the MC68k and Intel 8086  ). They wrote that these processors are awesome and will help us solve the last mysteries of the universe, but will be far too expensive and powerful for normal users. Around 1988 I read a similar article about the new 80486, singing very much the same song.
So what will quantum processors bring? Of course they will solve the last mysteries of the universe. They are awesome, but far too powerful and expensive for normal users.
And a few years later we will be posting cat pictures faster, in more colors and higher resolutions than ever before with them.

I don't know - but I suspect Pr0n will probably be involved.

Why not? The last mysteries of the universe may be important, but it's just as important that the same tech can be used to bring a little fun and entertainment into some people's life, no matter if it's by sharing cat pictures or playing some games. Even Pr0n, as long as there is no abuse or criminal activity involved.
