Apparently my Windows PC is broken… again…

Loyal readers (hello Mum) will remember this story where I received a call from “David James” to inform me that there was a problem with my Windows PC.
(I recommend you read the earlier post for the full back story!).
Back then it was fun to ‘mess’ with the head of the poor guy sat in a call centre in Delhi but this time I couldn’t be quite as bothered.

Now my Apple-loving credentials are well-established but, honestly, do you need to be a Mac groupie to realise that this is an abomination against all that is good?
What next? Do I have to take a hammer to the hard drive in my MacBook to slow it down and therefore mimic the effect Windows Vista has on computers? Must I disconnect my mouse and keyboard for an hour a day to get that “downtime whilst I virus check my PC” feeling in a show of solidarity for my less-fortunate Windows-using friends?
People, this sick madness must end… now.

I’m a Mac guy through and through. I love my Macs; they’re a joy to use, with a common-sensical approach to daily tasks that make me more productive.
The Mac operating system (OSX) is, so far, virus-free, all aspects from software through to hardware are beautifully-designed and, the software especially, contains features years ahead of other “more popular” (ie, widely-used) operating system.
