Out of the Blue

I took my laptop on the train with me last night and had a really bad connection on the way down, at which point Norton Internet Security told me it needed to download 42 MB of patches to be happy, which was perfect timing. I have been happy with NIS 2009 after my brief problem with it cleared up, but I'm starting to think it's not the best choice for a cell-modem laptop if it can want that much patching after 11 days of non-use, which is not uncommon for me.
