Now a story from the "other side".................

Now sons' work place - a garage that works on all kinds of cars, trucks, vans, suv's, \
just about anything......IS STILL  USING "DOS" for their accounting system, a \
dot-matrix printer and that system is not connected to the Internet, because  he does \
not want the hassles of EVER dealing with viruses and such.

I've even tried to get him on Linux with using the DOSBOX emulator - NOPE, WON'T \
TOUCH IT.

Now that's REALLY STUBBORN !!!!!!!!!!!
