The really kewl link from the blatantly obvious virus companies create fud so people buy their crud story is the Wal Mart Ships LINDOWS OS PC's. Sure makes the price drop compared to Windows PC's. If it'll run QuickBooks... we may have to try it!
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
