 University of Virginia News Story
But it wasn’t always that way, said Peter Norton, assistant professor in the Department of Science, Technology and Society at the University of Virginia’s School of Engineering and Applied Science.
During that time, there was a clash of cultures, particularly in the cities, between residents who used the streets as an extension of their homes, chatting with neighbors and watching their children at play, and drivers of the newfangled vehicles who wanted to travel quickly from one place to another, Norton said.
And he sees modern-day activists carrying on the fight by advocating such measures as bike paths and bike lanes, traffic-calming measures in residential areas, and pedestrian malls, which ban cars and reclaim the street as public space for strolling, street performers, sidewalk cafes and vendors selling their wares from carts.

 Peter Norton Part VII: 7 Years to Centimillionaire! - Idea Lawyer Blog
Above all, Peter says his lifelong habit of avoiding or downplaying anything at which he could not excel (what he calls "the arrogance of shyness") made him avoid the sorts of entanglements which, while they help companies grow, often end up with their founders kicked out on the streets.
Unlike many entrepreneurs, moreover, Peter Norton kept complete control of his company, and kept the overwhelming share of the wealth created when the company was bought, for about $70 million, by the Symantec Corporation in 1989.
Two years after the sale of the company, Peter Norton's fortune, including royalties on Norton products now sold by Symantec, had topped $100 million, and he was free to pursue his cultural/philanthropic interests almost full-time.

Who does this Peter Norton think he is? I mean, not even Emperor Gates has the gall to plaster his image all over his packaging.
I have to believe that, were he President of the United States, Peter Norton would be shipping statues of himself across all of America like the Caesars did across the Roman Empire.
So hopefully either Norton Utilities 5.0 won't see so many updates (indeed, the initial version is much more stable than was 4.0), or the patches will be able to complete updates even on utilities that are disabled.

No the only programming language mentioned in Peter Norton's Complete Guide to Linux is Java, not exactly on the front- burner when it comes to Linux.

So kudos to Griffith and Norton for providing one new topic that no one else seems to have noticed might be important to Linux users.
