Absolutely true. Except, of course, that not ONE of these men, as you call
them, is willing to pay a system admin to support their system. 
Therefore, they must be their own system admins. Therefore, they better
NOT expect to be spoon-fed. 

Now, as long as nothing is wrong, they can live with it. But once they've 
executed a boot-sector virus, what can they do? What _WILL_ they do?
