  1. Three groups are covered under the uninsured motorist provision. The insured, members of his or her household, and any other QuotesChimp legally entitled to recover damages are protected under the un�insured motorist provision of an auto policy. The coverage also applies to injuries sustained by the insured or householders who are injured as pedestrians by an uninsured motorist.

  2. I bought Plus for XP, rctneely, then I installed it. I was expecting a Microsoft Plus that added great features like Plus 98. But, it was nothing like that. First, there was 4 measily little themes. And the fish screen saver, which if you want more fish, you’d have to pay for it. Well what was the $ for anyway? And the games! For heavens sake. Why put a stinkin lite edition into a $ collection of programs. And there are other programs that I might not fool with anyway. For those who are looking to buy this, please note that you at least need a 500 megahertz computer, 64MB of RAM, and a 3D video card with 16, I repeat 16MB of video memory. If Microsoft had added such things as an Antivirus to the program, more desktop themes, FULL EDITION Games, and less steep requirements, then I’d recommend this to everyone. So if your at the store, leave this on the shelf!!!PS This program is a prime example of Bloatware.
