No, it's on their computers because it was there when they bought their
computers. I thought I said that.

This is the second or third time you've talked about a "microsoft

up. Are you paranoid about it or something?

No, you're not cordial. Ever, from what I've seen. On Usenet, you come
off as an obnoxious twit, but that could be because you don't write very
well and you don't realize how you sound. Maybe in real life you're a joy
to be around and have lots of friends.
