Sadly, I have a customer that never even patched for the blaster worm who now has it.

This is an office manager who:

Constantly buys 399.00 PC's running XP home for office use;
Is STILL running NT 4.0 server besides repeated pleading by me to upgrade;
Believes her husband is a computer guru (he disabled their firewall and that's why the worm infected their network)

I kindly told the president of the company today, do not ever, i mean EVER fucking call me any more. If you won't spend the dough I don't wanna hear your bitching.

I am gonna laugh my ass off when they do upgrade to server 2003 and figure out they can't enforce GPO's with XP home edition computers.

People are fucking stupid. Period.
