I enjoyed reading the comments and agreed with many of them. I started with machine language in college and advanced to Basic. GUI’s are one of the greatest advancements in computer interfaces. Now people without computer skills can enjoy the vast amounts of information and communicate with words and graphics. IMHO, the entire fault with virus, spyware, bug filled software, spam and EULA just to mention a few is the consumer. I belong to EFF organization and we are trying to make a difference. If we the people would simply get off our backsides and unite the world would be a much better place.If our government can be hacked what possible chance does the rest of us have. Buying more spyware detection, spam blockers and learning better pc skills you get the understanding, is a waste of time and money. We should expect no demand the ISP provide security rather than each of us buying our own. And yes, some of us will be hacked regardless. I personally use a USB HDD that is all ways disconnected while connected to an ISP. A legitimate company or incorporation is the primary source of all the crap on my pc. Where is the majority of your carp coming from?

After reading the advice and statements regarding Microsoft Activation of Windows and software Ownership, I simply had to step in. You people are simply spreading rummors and crap you read on the Microsoft (EULA). Please read ‘first sale doctrine’. ‘ In the United States, once you own a copy of a program, you can back it up, compile it, run it, sale it and even modify it as necessary, without permission from the copyright holder. Most courts that have addressed the validity of the shrink-wrap license agreements have found them to be invalid.
