Thread: Urgent Warning to all at TD!!

any case, it would hardly be the whole world if it was just TD users.

having made the switch to linux, I am left wondering why everybody else doesn't.

different class of Operating system....far superior.

Amazing. I clicked on the Thai Ministry of Defense Web site and got a big warning about the danger of infection from the site.

Have they? Really? But the internet wasn't widely used until the 1990's...

Following commercialisation and introduction of privately run Internet Service Providers in the 1980s, and its expansion into popular use in the 1990s, the Internet has had a drastic impact on culture and commerce.

BTW - I jus had a sudden thought, Miss Sun setter? It aint somebodies mum is it?

No, she's not my Mum, but she is a very good friend of mine, that I've known for years & she was genuinely trying to help.

Thanks for that
I have just installed it and will give it a try.
I opted for the professional version because it has a lot more features like auto updates.
If you need any "help" installing the Pro version then PM me

I can confirm that she is a very nice lady.

you should hang your head in shame after you get back from slandering on ajarn.

I just reread my response and compared it to many other posters......

Always the same gullible PC users falling for the same old hoaxes. What's more amazing, though, is that these folks always seem unable to use Google to do a simple query into the legitimacy of the 'warning' their brothers' second cousin's wife's niece sent them.

Then again, it's a keen way the technology world has of having people identifying themselves as the kind that shouldn't have a computer.

Yet you choose to get narky at me!

So, you're now redding people for trying to help & just not 'knowing what you know', now, KW? Class. Really.

No-one else said they were redding her. You did. Elementary, my dear Baboon-butt.

Edit - and the first part of the above quote (up to 'So,...') was to all of the arrogant twats. Why'd you miss out Daffy Duck's? His was arrogant beyond belief.
Edit, again - no you didn't miss him out, you just didn't attribute what he said to him. Apologies.

and we often wonder why so little mott posts here.

So saying I'll red you is worse than the sarcasm, jokes about her intellect, the word knuts, comments that she should not be allowed to use computers ?

methinks you take the red/green game too seriously.
