I never said there weren't advantages...all I am saying is that I have 
decided, for my own purposes, not to spend the money.  Why must 27 readers 
insist that I am wrong?  I know my personal circumstances better than 
anybody, and NO ONE here has "walked in my shoes" to know any different.

Not to lay any guilt trip on you, the last of my family passed away this 
year.  So there's no one to "hint" to as you suggest.  If I want something, I 
must buy it myself.  And as I have already stated, that "ain't gonna happen" 
in this case.
I've said it once, I'll say it again...I THINK MY PC's ARE SUFFICIENTLY 
PROTECTED, GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES.  Please drop the issue, everyone.
