Why Linux perfect system for people who hate computers?

We’ve had computers powerful enough to be effortlessly useful for ages now. In fact, there is probably one in your attic. Even a 10-year-old PC will work perfectly well as a well-connected typewriter, which is all that most people want or need. And even Windows 98, however much we despise it, is pretty foolproof against user incompetence. The trouble is that it is ridiculously insecure. It ought to be a criminal offence to connect a computer running Windows 98 to the net via broadband. Anyone who does so is not merely putting their own information at risk, but laying their computer open to the risk of being used to rob third parties as part of a botnet.

Yay my new connection

After lots of thinking for 15 minutes , and with the Sify guy in front of me who knew nothing more than the price and speed of the plan (and he was even smiling for getting a new sify scapegoat). I, having no other option signed on the dotted line and gave him the cheque of Rs. 661.

Then after a day some other fellow who knew nothing but where to put the ip addresses n all came and made the connection. I was happy he was happy.

After he went i tried connecting in the afternoon but it didnt connect, then it dawned on me that mine is a night plan. That night just when the clock striked 10 i pressed the login button and even then i couldnt connect because it wasnt detecting my antivirus software and it wanted me to install some antivirus that they provide. I tried many times but that software wont budge, i remembered Priyam warning me about sify’s service but i had to call the sify’s call centre . I called and i didnt hear any south indian accent , my problem was solved in just 5 minutes and then i forgot everything (Preshit asked me to update u all about my connection).

Im getting a constant 30 kBps download speed and 25 kBps upload speed.

In the last 4 days i have downloaded 4 movies and some episodes of Simpsons and Southpark .

Im happy with sify’s service till now, and hope i wont have any problem.
