One day, not so long ago, I noticed a little window icon at the
bottom of my computer screen that wasn't there the day before.
Being curious I clicked on it and discovered that the Microsoft
Corporation was offering me a limited time opportunity to download
their newest, latest and greatest achievement in operating
systems, <i>Absolutely Free</i>. Apparently, with no strings
attached!<br>
<br>
This seemed too good to be true. A free upgrade from Microsoft? I
immediately became suspicious. Why would a company that has it
tentacles in ever corner of our society be trying to entice us
with such a freebie? Could there be a hidden agenda afoot here?
Hmmm .......?<br>
<br>
The possibilities began to boggle my mind. Could this be a sneaky
infiltration scheme that would enable Microsoft to cast a wider
web of corporate control? Perhaps a massive collusion with Big
Government for some nefarious purpose?<br>
<br>
Pondering these questions I recalled that ancient admonition to
beware of Greeks bearing gifts, or giant wooden horses for that
matter. Now, as a tinker electronic tech I've long held the belief
that if it ain't broke don't fix it. So, can anyone suggest a
reason why anyone would (or should) take a giant leap of faith and
bite into this tasty morsel, something I'm always loath to do when
temptation nudges me, or should we all remain cautious and watch
from the sidelines?<br>
<br>
However, if the apple seems irresistible, you must reserve your
copy within <u><i><b>two days</b></i></u> or pay hard earned cash
if later you decide you want the 'upgrade'. Comments, anyone? <br>
