[ Quoting Mack Barss to Scott Little ]
SL> User: "Tech Support! I lost all my FILES!"
MB> There you go Scott.. you are saying that Win95 users are morons
Not all. But I'd say at least half. Even the ones that do know a lot, don't.
MB> But then, you say you can purchase it with a NEW harddrive or
MB> motherboard. This implies that the person knows what they are doing.
Usually, but not necessarily. I know several people that are quite capable of
installing new hardware, Win95B and whatever, but when it comes to problem
solving, they're stuffed. 'duh... I didn't make a boot disk, I didn't think
I'd need one... '.
MB> Tell me Scott, how many people do you know that go out and buy a new
MB> motherboard don't know anything about the consequences of doing an
MB> FDISK and FORMAT?
You'd be suprised. It'd mainly be the newbies that got caught by the new
"internet easy" type ads. People who buy a computer just to "surf the 'net"
deserve whatever they get.
MB> Your execuse would only be correct if it was pre-installed on a new
MB> system.
Which in most cases it is.
Regards,
