I can't believe it

I really can't. But I am considering learning everything I can about Microsoft Windows XP and every other Microsoft product. All the new and wonderful things that can be done with Internet Explorer and Outlook/Outlook Express.

There are at least a million of PCs in San Diego County running that operating system. For every single one of the that is attached the Internet or an intranet that has a gateway to the Internet is filled to the brim with spyware, viruses and trojan horses. Every one.

There is money to be made in cleaning those systems of their evilware. As long as people continue to go like cows to the slaughter I think I should get in on the money to be had protecting people from themselves.

I don't like the idea, but....

i can't believe it either, unless you are really set on poisoning your life. you already don't like computers with operating systems that are actually fun for those of us who work with them as a job, and you want to work with windows? do you think you can discover some way to actually love something about this, or is the money the only attraction?

nothing happening with the coaching stuff? money so tight you need to find something else? *hugs*.

btw, your "computer consuting" link over there on the right is in need of some llllloving too. :)

Thanks for the proofreading help. :)

I'm just being onery about Microsolft operating systems and lousy news reporting.

A CNN story I heard on Monday night talked about how easy it is to have your computer infected with spyware and viruses. "9 out of 10." Did they mention one time what operating system those 9 were using? No. Not once did they tell the real story or the real security risk.

sigh.
