Lets shoppers "see, touch, and feel"
E-commerce products.

The statement�s implications
Aren�t all G-rated.

Symantec Enterprise Security

Security tool
Blah blah modular blah blah
Go look at their site.

To: Me

From: An old college friend who just got a new place.

Scenario: I just asked for his new address and phone number.
