ha ha! chaos and destruction!

I'm sitting in a cafe, overhearing a loud business meeting of
company whose business is removing viruses from computers,
installing security software and related services. They charge
businesses $125 per hour for an average of 5 hours per job.
And of course they want to line up contracts to service
the fools periodically. When I think about these poor slobs
using computers with Windows that have viruses all through them,
I don't have much pity. They are like SUV drivers, making bad
decisions based on very superficial rushed thinking and paying
out a lot as a result; whereas using Linux is more like riding
a bicycle to work each day: healthier, cheaper, smarter, but
you may need to learn how to oil the chain ;)

Now you've done it. The Win Nuts here say viruses are a thing of the
past! They're EASILY defeated by ANYONE! and the same for malware,
spyware, trojans or any other security breach that is Windows.

With this that you've posted seems to leave only two possibilities.

Now that is the attitude of someone who has been told to rejoice because he
is smarter, healthier, and more frugal, even though he is so inconvenienced
to be relegated to a bicycle. If you look at the person who has convinced
him to be satisfied with this lot, he is driving the SUV! LOL!!!

Hey! I enjoy riding my bike!

I don't consider it to be an inconvenience. In fact, when I have to
drive (or be driven) I hate the fact that I can't truly enjoy the journey.

Strange, but true.

Oh, and as a side note, my front mech is knackered, but I'm working on
it... ;-)

I never found driving a full size SUV to be much fun! Particularly in
crowded city traffic - much rather my Neon or, especially, my motorcycle.

I agree. The only way to enjoy a drive is to be in
a small convertible, like a Miata. However there is a good
reason why those are called "coffin cars"...

I once lived for 2 years without a car, riding my bicycle
or walking everywhere. I enjoyed it and I stayed in shape,
and I didn't pollute the planet.

Who in the world calls them that?

They are pretty much as safe as any other car, because by far the
largest factor in safety is what the *driver* does to stay out of
accidents.

Sorry to hear of your knackered front, hope you get it
repaired. I enjoy riding my bike too. The worst ride beats
the best day at work. :)
