snover: overcharging is illegal, yeah, but that's why they call it shipping and HANDLING, not just shipping - it's practically impossible to assign a concrete figure to "handling", so they can just charge what they like.

Snover: I'm sure we can whine and whimper all day about whether or not I'm overrating the problem, but it's much better to be safe than sorry - real people have lost real data - because they don't use common sense to protect themselves against viruses and trojans.

Tell me - how many personal computers do you see with backup tapes these days? Most people probably don't have even a backup of their data.

Better safe than sorry, IMHO. If you want to roll the dice, go ahead.

I know most people don't back up their shit, I work at a computer repair shop, which is why I'm getting so damn bitter at everyone that comes here. Dumb users are annoying. ANNOYING.

Yes, it’s my fault.
