Check out the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine: "You are about to use the world's largest database. With over 100 terabytes and 10 billion web pages archived from 1996 to the present, the Wayback Machine puts the history of the World Wide Web and the sum of all human knowledge at your fingertips."

I recently purchased Norton AntiVirus 2002 based on a few reviews including one in David Strom's Web Informant newsletter. Coming from an older release of McAfee VirusScan (5.0x), one very annoying part of the UI is that each failed attempt to repair a virus-infected file results in a popup. So if you receive twenty SirCam-infected e-mails, you see twenty pop-up windows and have to click twenty times to close the windows.

Doug Kaye notes some more wierdness with AntiVirus 2002.

If you haven't heard, Jack Valenti and Hillary Rosen have been replaced by Penny Proud in the fight against file trading: "Penny Proud didn't think downloading music would hurt anyone. When Mega, a cute boy Penny likes, tells her about file trading, her new obsession begins to take over her life."

In July, Salon ran an article: Why can't Johnny respect copyrights?: "Classroom indoctrination is one way of targeting the Napster demographic. But can it work?"
