      You know I’ve never been one to follow the pack. In fact, some obtuse characteristic in me prevents me from doing that. It’s actually quite hard or in fact very hard to do this. It’s much more comforting to be a sheep in a pack of sheep, even though the pack may be flinging themselves over the cliff. That’s probably an extreme example in the context of this article, as I’m sure there will be lot of readers who would infer that is I who is actually in the process of throwing myself over the cliff. But take the subprime madness of the last few years which led to an almighty financial crash. Every dog and his bone was on the bandwagon but how many had the gumption to bet against the flock?

This would mean I should rush out tomorrow to my local PC store and joining the throng who are busy lashing out ladles of cash on new hardware and software to ensure that their PC’s are oh so protected against the dark forces that are rallying out there to sabotage their systems, data and lives. Yes, your credit cards are going to get hacked, your identities are going to get stolen, your address list will

      get stolen and it’s all because Microsoft has ended support for Windows XP.

      Now, this is a very profitable strategy for Microsoft isn’t it? All those lovely upgrades to Windows 7 or 8, plus maybe new purchases of Office. And for the PC shops and dealers what a godsend! If only Microsoft would do this more often! Its virtually guaranteed money in the bank. Loot, by any meaning of the word!

      Well, like all XP users I’ve had to consider my options. I’ve been using my
