    It's not that he failed to prepare for the scenario.
    It's the fact that he wanted to blame someone else when it happened.

    I don't keep backups of my computer data if I lose it I know I only have myself to blame.

    I do a back up every week, just after I have filled my car with petrol.:)

    I am often asked to sort out computers where the user's machine has a virus. I personally have paid out a lot of money to buy into Apple Macs where I know there is no virus my computers could catch. Most people I know wouldn't do that and it is somewhat irksome when I have to spend time sorting out their machines.

    I hope you kept your receipt:-

    Anything I post is my opinion, so from time to time I may be wrong. I try to provide answers based in fact, however I don't know everything, so (like all posters on MSE), take what I say with a pinch of salt.

    Troll or [EMAIL="Tw@t"]!!!!!![/EMAIL] , I will let you decide,BUT unless the car had run out of petrol at that time I would have driven it as far as possible to get home,even if only 1 litre of petrol was there that is apx a fifth of a gallon,if a car only does 30mpg that would take you 6 miles
    I :love: MOJACAR

    This story and stories similar to it have been doing the rounds for years. On investigation it is usually an anti-virus company behind it.

    There is currently no Mac virus in the wild. Not a single one, vs thousands which affect MS Windows. The Mac OS is inherently more secure than Windows.

    The future is always uncertain, and when the time comes I will take the necessary precautions. Sophos would have me buying its anti-virus product now and is spreading FUD in an attempt to generate sales.

    Incidentally, why is everybody thanking each other? One poster simply posted 'LOL' and was thanked!

    Am I missing something? I thought a useful post would elicit thanks, not one where you merely shared an opinion. How old are you lot?!

    Don't worry yourself about it, I note that nobody has thanked you for any of your input, perhaps there is a message there somewhere.;)

    Yes, I noticed that too. Time to bow out, methinks, and let you lot get on with your bickering!
