 when i see it i cry

It hurts me when I see someone else’s computer, with that horrid little green and orange gator down in the taskbar.

If ask the person what it is, the common answer is "I have no idea". About 2 mins later I have taken it off their computer (until they are suckered into installing it again!)

That gator and the purple gorilla are my least fav. animals.

The number of stupid little icons on your taskbar is inversely proportional to your computer knowledge!

I agree with that. Also, system-tray efficient people are generally more knowledgable about computers than those who let programs go where they want, when they want.

I also hate when I walk into the 'IT' department and see workstations with 50,000 icons in the systray. THEN I hear "My computer's so slowwwwww".

People in general are 'tards'. They buy 30-40000 cars and don't read the manuals or change the oil. Should we then feel bad for them since they installed Gator, or 'caught' a virus?

What do you do with bad drivers??? You take their license away. What do you do with bad netziens??? You shut them off!!! Just like some ISPs did w/ code red--ones who had balls anyway. They warned people to use a firewall or run some antivirus, the folks didn't listen. Then one day those people had NO internet connection. Too damn bad. I'm through feeling bad for people.

Point: If you take the time to buy a computer and access the internet, you HAVE to have consideration for other people. If you install Gator, lost money, whatever... don't fill up the message boards with gobbledy-gook--"boo-hoo, they stole my password"..or "now my AOL doesn't work".

  The sad part is that us 'IT' people are the ones who pay the price for the ignorance of our users. "Waaaaaaaaaaa my computer is slow. Waaaaaaaaaaaa I can't access this or I can't access that."

Or how bout the ever famous "I didn't change or install anything! I just turned it on and it doesn't work anymore." Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

And if you act now, you'll also recieve, "It was working fine until the IT dept did something to it."

But wait there's more! Call in the next 10 minutes and you'll also recieve your own very special copy of "Whining User Hidden Spyware." Of course it's in divX format so you'll have to contact the It dept and whine, "waaaaaaaaaaaa How come I can't play this video."

Tards is putting it midly brother, they're absolute losers! Or as we fondly call em, "end losers". Adware was built for the UNAware and there are far more of them than there are of us.

Long live popup killers!
Peace and Love Yo ...
