i use a microsoft web newsreader in
a microsoft enviroment to access
the microsoft newsgroups located on
a microsoft server to discuss issues
related to microsoft products.

everyone else are "outsiders" who
are just as welcomed not to complain
about their limitations

on the upside for criminals,

it would be a great idea for an elderly
person to get a computer. That way

1) it can be easier to send the 90 year old
important letters from the prince of Nigeria
regarding a 2 million dollar account left by
a distant relative and need bank account
to transfer it

2) it can be easier to send the 90 year old
that they have won the Canadian lottery
and need front money for processing
the claim

3) when the pc experiences a hiccup, the
money geek can reinstall the o.s. everytime
for 200 bucks or whatever since it is highly
likely the 90 years is severly behind the
times...

4) the 90 year old decides checking his/her
ssn and bank account is pretty easy online and uses......

5) the 90 year old chats online and provides his/her
confiential information like
address to a snake posing as a good friend.

the list can go on and on and it's a
bigg mistake for anyone wanting to
setup a 90 year old up with a computer

further, if the elderly becomes a victim
as a result of the computer setup, the
computer person will likely be held
liable.....

besides "we" do not know who you really
are, if you have a criminal background or
a secret intention.... Therefore, you should
contact that persons relative instead or
contacting us..."this is no joke "
