      Of course, to be fair, anyone with a healthy chunk of knowledge can keep a fairly stable/secure Windows OS. But then, how many people are as knowledgeable with computers as us? Considering the vast stories of Computer Stupidities (google "Computer Stupidities", I dare you -- funny stuff), I highly doubt that it's a majority. So a lot of PC-users end up being shafted because they aren't experts in the field of PC's. ;)

        Yeah, last time my PC had a serious virus (disabled my internet connection), I was able to destroy it myself. No viruses on my PC to date. :)

            i think that translates to "i is the betters. you is a noob" (many years of idiots babling in this language on games has helped)

                        I highly suspect drugs were involved. ;D

                        Seriously, I'm not sure if it's just me, but I have noticed a high concentration of "|_|B3R 1337"s in a cluster of Star Wars multiplayer games. ;) (For the record, I am a fan of SW but not a fanboy -- big difference.)

                        To tell ya the truth that was the first time I have ever talked like that.  However, in my experience 'language' like that is most often used in gaming communities.  I myself do game...I just don't talk like that.

                        Well...uh...anyway...
