FYI... My emails are always scanned before they are downloaded from the
server and always read in plain text.

And that shows just how much you know - you can't get a virus just from
OPENING an email....

Yeah, she knows no one in their right mind would have anything to do
with her except you. You have the same problem. Perfect match.

Ha Ha Ha

Interestingly IE8 only took 10 months to become the global browser
leader.

Wow, Linux is about to be overtaken by the iPhone.


Odd that. The iPhone is very expensive and Linux is...er... free!

Just goes to show that if you have enough advertising money, you can
sell anything. Remember how many idiots bought AOL? With Linux, at
least you know your money isn't going to China, India or the Middle
East.

You might be able to sell anything with enough advertising money but you
CAN'T give away that ****TY Ubuntu! LOL!




Put Apple's or Microsoft's advertising money behind Linux and then we can
talk.

Alias

Why would they want to put money behind some ****ty product they can't give
away? Why wouldn't word of mouth spread across the planet that there is an
OS that will bury Microsoft? I'll tell you why. Ubuntu is **** and will
always be ****. No need to put money into a pile of ****.

It it pushed through automatic updates ?

Of course.


You and your fellow Linux trolls never make much sense, do you?

Trying to be a Frank wannabe?


So explain the continued rise of Internet Explorer, which is a reversal
in the browser’s fortunes, which has continually lost share to the
likes
of Firefox over the last few years. So, much for the automatic updates?
Idiots!!

Most people use IE because they don't know any better and wrongly think
that IE is secure because MS made it. Are you one of them? Just curious,
why do have Avast checking your newsgroup posts and email? I hope it
isn't because you think that will make your email and newsgroup posts
safer.



Well, you're the expert!!

In computing, no one is an expert.


Correction: In computing, Alias has his head shoved up his ass.

Tell me why having Avast scanning my emails and NG posts, providing the
same kind of protection as most commercial programs, with real-time
email and network monitoring and signature files updated on a daily
basis.

It offers no further protection and can **** up email programs.


Then again, I've been using Windows for 15 years and never had a
compromised machine, yet.

Nor have I and I've been using MS products since 1988. I used a Mac back
in 84.



And presumably you paid the $2,495 asking price?

No, I paid $4000 because I also bought an external floppy drive, a
backpack type thing to carry it around and a legal size Image Writer
along with a few reams of high quality paper. I sold it in Venezuela for
$6000 which covered what I paid, the bribe I had to pay to get it into
Venezuela and a bit of a profit.

Sorry but you know nothing. I didn't marry my high school sweetheart but we
are still friends to this day. Don't live a boring and sheltered life.
Have traveled quite a bit have a nice family and friends. Also have a good
job and I'm healthy. Own my house and have a nice car. Another bonus, I
don't use that ****TY Ubuntu.

Sorry about your situation. Counting that imaginary $14k a week you claim
to get? HA HA HA HA HA
