The Apple Store, as you know from my post of yesterday, is on my “What’s Hot” List for where to buy Christmas presents because of how well they take care of their customers.

Every once in a while there is an online competition that really catches our fancy. This one is being run by Symantec, makers of the popular Norton series of consumer software.
