I think it's better not to put all your egg into one basket. You should have two, three or four wallets and you should put your coin into all those wallets too.

Good Idea. I'll just make a new wallet.dat every time my wallet gets up to like 5-10btc or something. Then I can have a drawer full of USB sticks with 5-10btc on each one.

Anyone got some tips on how to make sure my computer/wallet doesn't get compromised. Is Norton internet security going to be enough to protect me? Should I have a dedicated computer to only deal with bit coin transactions and use it for nothing else?

If this is what you intend on doing, you should also dump them all onto an external drive, or a second usb stick (use some sort of labelling convention so you can match them up).
And store it in a seperate room/drawer as a backup. It would be a shame if an environmental factor destroyed or corrupted all of your usb drives.
