Are you licensed?

It’s been a while, no? Whatsup? Things have been super hectic around here, but that’s nothing new.

I have been wanting to blog about a varied set of topics, but being so hard pressed for time, just didn’t get to it. But, a phone conversation I had a few minutes ago was so interesting that I had, had, had to write about it.

So a certain broadband provider who gives us access to the holy internet had something “urgent” to do apparently, so they have been calling home when I have been at work. Finally, I called this guy back and he said that they had to install anti-virus software on my home laptop. Go on, I said, because I have a good reliable one already and I didn’t see the point of installing something else. Initially, I wasn’t all that into this conversation because I thought it was some free mandatory thing they had to do. But, no! This dude tells me that I have to pay for it and he has been calling because they have a discount on the software. I tell him that I already have Norton installed and I am quite happy with it and didn’t want to go with something else. His next statement: “but, this will be licensed and yours is pirated.” And I go “WHAT? Why do you think I have a pirated copy of Norton?” and he asks me, “You actually paid for it? What about your OS? Did you pay for it too?”

I’m having so much fun!
