Wired News: Worm Exploits Weak Link: PC Users

Excerpt from this article:
“I just don’t see why, after spending thousands of dollars for a computer, I should have to devote all this time to taking care of it,” he said. “No one told us it’d be a full-time job to have a computer. We just wanted to be able to e-mail our kids at college.” –Jim Whitting

So Jim spent a few thousand dollars on his PC and expects it to take care of itself. Does anyone want to guess how his car looks and drives? Maybe his lawn and house have fared better despite Jim not devoting “all this time to taking care of” them. That’s the way things work, right? The more money you spend, the less work you will have.

Sorry, Jim, I guess you’ll have to spend the seconds it takes to click “download”, “install” and “restart”.
