Stupid wankers is a bit harsh, don't you think?*

I mean, weren't you the same poster who recently had a problem getting the YouTube coding to work for you on this forum? I'm just saying that a lot of this "computer stuff" is deceptively simple looking but is, in reality, confoundingly complex for a lot of average users.

I probably shouldn't even be on the damned thing, myself, since I honestly don't have a clue how a lot of it works. All that said, I did learn a long time ago that a good anti-virus program is essential for Microsoft users.

*Sorry if I sound like a scold, but I genuinely felt sorry for that GM guy in your anecdote. I don't, personally, expect GM execs to be any smarter than the rest of us when it comes to web-surfing. That and running a major auto company are two entirely different skill sets.
