Symantec blocks email

Symantec Client Firewall prevents me from sending out email from an email client that uses GMail as a server. I ran a system restore and got back all the factory-installed software and the Symantec suite happens to be one of them.

I haven't uninstalled it yet. I'm just sending my email through GMail's web interface for now, but something has got to change soon - either Symantec gives me an update or I move to something else.

Project Planner on Windows

If you want to create a Gantt chart and manage a To Do list of tasks on a project, you don't have to spend a couple of hundred dollars to buy MS Project. You can settle for Planner, an open-source project management utility included with most Linux distributions. A windows version is available at: http://winplanner.sourceforge.net/ for free download.
