That's great to hear, I am so happy my old friends are doing great. Wasn't expecting to hear anything else since it wouldn't make me happy. I see you all are still going strong, and that's exactly what makes these forums definitely THE best forums in the World. I was away for couple of years, since my primary machine was iMac, but I've never left avast! Free version since my Jessica is using my old laptop and I wanted the best protection out there for her machine. I still do maintenance of my dad's machine in Croatia (remotely) on a weekly basis, and all these years, his PC never touched anything else but avast! Oh yes, I forgot to mention, avast! is on my Android Galaxy Nexus too. So, as you can see... not much has changed. I just got little older and little lazier, lol.
@DavidR - thanks for asking David. Unfortunately my great friend Chee-Chee left us back in October 2012. An unbelievable little bird, always so calm and friendly. He was super healthu little dude, but in the same time, many years went over his shoulders. We all get too old at one point, his time ran out at the end of 2012
We still have another little budgie (yellow one) that was his good friend since Chee-Chee was 2 years old, and that one is doing great. One healthy, fairly large bird (for a budgie anyway). Brings a lot of happiness in our life and helps us remember our old Chee-Chee.
Here is a short video, compilation of some super old footage from back in 2005, I dedicated it to him. One last good bye!

We've noticed, there will be no improvement, he was just too tired to keep going on. Every couple of seconds, he would slowly lift his head up, looked at me with those friendly eyes, and then put it back to my palm... like he was trying to say: "...this is it my big friend, this is how the end of the road looks like. Unfortunately, this is where we split..."
