We can learn a lesson from that Craigslist ad. If your PC has a virus just buy a new one!!!

Ok I'm waiting for the mac fanboy to pop up and say BUY A MAC!
Donatello - The Shredder? Michelangelo - Maybe all that hardware is for making coleslaw? -
^^^^My friend just told another friend to buy a MAC for that same specific reason.
My answer to that was if you've got cash to burn then by all means buy a MAC. -
That ain't nothing...
My mother-in-law wanted me to buy her a new dishwasher, new air-conditioner, and even a new car when each item "broke". That will be the day...
It's a mentality that some industries have brainswashed some of their clients with, notably women it seems. How sexist of them...What about all the hapless, wimpy doods?
Whether or not the same brand is replaced is another question... -
I haven't had a real Virus since at least 3 years. Even on the old computers with just the free AVG.

Maybe the Craigslist ad dude should pay for a reputable pr0n download site instead of cruisin' for free pr0n, then he might not get hammered by so many viruses

a coworker bought a new PC because their old one had a virus...
I asked him what he did with the old one and he said 'it's out on the porch'.

I see no reason to upgrade my TI-99/4a to an Amiga at this point, my graphics are fine.

When I worked for Calyx Software, there were brokers all over the place that would do this very thing. Their computers were infected and they would just go buy another one.

Some time in the 80s a friend told me: "I bought a monster IBM compatible computer with MS DOS. It has a huge 40 MB HDD and bought a printer too. It cost me $11.000". We all looked at him with a little envy.
(I didn't know how to push the start switch by then). -
Sometimes it does make more sense to buy a new computer than spend days to fix the old one. Especially for the people with computers more than three years old that they barely know how to turn on. Some people simply have more money coming in than the time lost to repair.
As for old computers.
I used to dream about having a floppy disk and 64 KB of RAM.
Turn on the Apple ][+
Turn on the audio cassette
Type 3d0g and hit return
Go to the bathroom
Come back and wait some more
Hear the dreaded double beep
Rewind the audio cassette
Repeat until there is a SINGLE beep
Play game in low res
Low res being 40 by 40

I keep a old Mac SE30 around for nostalgia purposes. 9" B+W screen. It has Space Invaders on it and works very well. I haven't tried to get it on the net, but it would probably work for that.
When you consider the amount of computers that end up in the junk pile, not surprising that some people would just replace a computer when it stops working, even from malware. Most times it's difficult to give a older computer away as nobody seems to want them anymore, at least around here. -
Indeed - I have a P4 1.6GHz with 256MB RAM, 17" monitor, 10b/100 & a 56k that I've been trying to get rid of for cheap...
It works great! Sure, it's nothing fancy but what do most people use their PC for really? Internet & email... I can't even get $75 for it!"To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." - Steven Wright

My TV says it's true!!! So it must be!!!
