Windows and hackers
I guess you haven't had to update your OS since you bought your Win 95, and Office 97. Or maybe you haven't noticed the multitude of "patches" Microsoft releases constantly. Maybe you don't know that all of the network ports that hackers gain access to are left open on all Windows installs, until you manually close them which most people don't. Maybe your 5 year old has given you "Guest" access on your own computer so you won't mess it up. Or maybe the "idiot non-sense from a mentally unstable person" you were talking about was about your own post and you.
