Re: Chicken or Egg?

Heh, my experiences with fixing PCs has really impressed me with how much crap can happen to dial-up PCs. Exploit-using viruses like Blaster, fairly large-sized downloads of Spyware, etc...dial-up users can experience the same full-on gambit of nasties that plague broadband PCs.

Just because someone has a crappy internet connection doesn't mean that they have good PC habits.
