Slightly OT but this brings to mind a piece that I just read on BBSpot, a
humor site. Excerpt:
"Gator, an insidious, ubiquitous software program that helps users surf the
Internet by storing passwords and popping up banner ads has come under fire
for its annoying and allegedly deceptive features. Beyond the pop-up ads
and difficult uninstalls, there have been reports of even more annoying
features of the software.
. . .
"[Gator marketing representative] continued, "We also take exception to the
reports that Gator is difficult to install. We list in our readme.txt file
the simple steps required to remove the program. The first step requires a
program called fdisk which every user has on their computer system."
Seems like typical technical support these days, doesn't it? <w>
