    Last time I checked, Linux can be downloaded for free. If you think Windows is that bad, switch to Linux! Surely you can save up enough lunch money to buy a few CD-Rs.

    Just because your parents don't believe... err nm.
    [edit]
    Your parents (and people like them) are part of this massive virus problem you people are saying we have. Unprotected machines allow the viruses to spread. Maybe your parents should do a double-take.

    That would involve teaching people who can't grasp the concept of google to do many difficult things.

    Just because your parents believe doesn't mean you have to.
    Uh...yes it does. Their computer, their rules.

    Quit eating. Surely they give you lunch money. You can stomach it until dinner time. Eh?

    Now you're just trying to sound ignorant. Face it, there are reasons why people don't have the latest and greatest. While I don't expect new software for my computer, I do expect the company that made it to continue patching it when severe flaws are found. Just because you are in a position where you can afford to have the best then great, not everybody on this planet is. Personally, I plan on upgrading very soon, and joining the majority of the world in the 21st century. However, I know of many people who can't afford, or can't for other reasons use operating systems newer or surperior to the one they use.

    You're not the brightest bulb in the chandelier.

    Having to resort to personal attacks shows a character flaw.
