Christine, thanks for your outstanding post! You simply couldn't have said it better: >>How many people are going to do this? How many small businesses are going to do this? How many people even realize that they have to do this?<< The whole check-and-patch thing is not easy. In fact, even if you're pretty computer-savvy, it's difficult. But how many people will even try to do it in advance? How many will cross their fingers and wait till the champagne dregs are drying in the glasses to realize that their computers don't work and that they're going to be on hold for 6 hours to connect with a tech support person ? How many will realize that, as soon as you're off the line with one tech support person, you'll have to call another for the next problem? How long will it take small and large businesses alike to figure out that the problem is real and the fix isn't easy? That, in fact, it's not one fix, it's perhaps a dozen or more per computer? How long will it take for all of these problems small and large to roll through the economy and affect our work and daily lives? You've done a lot of good with your post...thanks! }=>-------->>>>
