In Other Weird (Non-APA) News
Sometimes computer companies bloat the computer with a bunch of software that you don't need and will never use.

Sony realized the error of its ways, and now offers you a computer without all that junk - the catch - they charge you $50 to NOT put their junk on the computer....awesome.

Ah, yes. Best Buy recently offered to "make (my) startup faster and remove all that bloatware". Of course, it was only $100.

All you have to do is obtain a copy of your favorite os and wipe the slate clean. Even when they take it all off, there are too many pieces left behind from the software. Plus I'm paranoid--who says they don't have keyloggers on there?

Computer technology is one of the few places that I can see a fairly direct correspondence between money savings/earnings and knowledge.
