Wow, you never cease to amaze, Shaneomoron. I thought you had shown
the world just how much of a fool you really were before, but you keep
making more and more of an idiot of yourself on a daily basis!

Well done!

Only a fool would let you anywhere near a computer of any kind.

Those Weta`guys are definitely Linux users, but Fred will always be a
fool no matter what he uses.

The current move by banks to make users wholly responsible for all banking
security (using some words like "the user must have the most up to date
security software/system") shouild, however, be seen as a Very Bad Thing.

Were it me, I wouldn't be using internet banking under those conditions at
all ... and I'd be telling the bank why.

Oh dear. Looks like somebody is stamping their little feet in indignation at
something I've said, again.

But really, what other word could you reasonbly use? It's known that Dimdows
systems, even loaded to the gills with the latest anti-virus, anti-spyware,
anti-everything, and all the up-to-date security patches, are still subject
to zero-day attacks on a regular basis. In other words, it's impossible to
keep Dimdows secure. Knowing that, and yet still persisting with using such
a system for security-sensitive operations involving money--is there any
word for such a person more appropriate than "fool"?

Many people have secure PCs, as least as secure as they can be.
I'd be willing bet that I'm not the only one that's been using XP quite
safely with a good AV program for several years now.
Kind of ****s up all of your pathetic little claims, past, present, and many
more crap claims to come in the future. With so many people here and all
over the planet using PCs for some years while running XP.

The real facts of PC/Windows success of compatibility and popularity keep
kicking your snivelling arse day in and day out year after year.

So, just because YOU haven't noticed any problems up till now, that means it
must be all right for everyone else to trust their banking to Dimdows? Is
that really the best argument you can come up with?

An idiot like you could very easily email your bank account details and no
one would bother blaming Linux just because an idiot is using it, Dumbo.

For the many that take the risk to do internet banking, the few that get
caught out would be stuff all. Not everyone out of the many thousands
drives on the motoway without being killed.
You seem to think that there's only 7 and a 1/2 people in NZ using Windows,
Dumbo.
