I must support Huw here. Please kindly drop this
thread and get back to things Triumphs. There is
no reason for these matters to be discussed within
the boundries of this forum.
If anyone would like to debate, perhaps they should
start with how far superior Wedges are when compared
to the rest of the products produced by Standard-Triumph,
although I might exclude the Spit, Dolomite Sprint,
Italia, TR5 and perhaps that Alfa knock-off which Donald
Healy help put together....these might have their own
category. I never had the chance to drive the Alfa
and never will, so I am just making a presumption
here.
Best Regards,

Microsoft is not an evil empire - I will admit that I'm not a fan of some of
it's buisness practices but I can also remember the slew of incompatible
software and inconsistent UI's that made IBM PC's such a bear to work with
before windows came on the market. Yeah, there are also the people that
said that Microsoft copied Apple and I do nothing but laugh - How about that
wonderful backstory of Jobs going to Xerox and coping the GUI & the Mouse
from that establishment?
Microsoft products are as secure as the people that use them, I have XP and
Outlook installed on my machine - I have set my security permissions
appropriatly and have never gotten nailed by a computer virus email or
otherwise. It's up to the user to configure their machine properly - I
mean, what about a garage door opener eh? How many people don't change
their code from the generic one shipped from the factory? Who are you going
to blame when you get robbed - Genie or yourself?
Some people are just too quick to pass blame and judgement - You're all
welcome to your opinions but hey, Myself and probably a heck of a lot of
other people on this list would appreciate it if you kept it to yourself.

I prefer to focus on the true 'root cause' of this problem, of course I'm
speaking about, Micro$oft (the true evil empire). As long as they don't
take software security (relating to their operating systems) as seriously
as they do in maintaining their monopoly power, this problem will always be
with us.
