Just ten minutes aho I was telling my brother (over msn) about the upgrade I'm doing (from p3 933 Mhz processor to a AMD 1.6 sempron) and he says something like : "That's so stupid, your computer is fine."

I'm sitting here arguing with him about how my computer is not fine. (Onboard graphics/sound/128 ram/033 mhz processor/slow hard drives) and he repeatedly tells me "it was fine when you got it."

Then the next idiotic thing he says : "all computers slow down, they get get infected with viruses and spyware."

So I told him, in that case, either run some scans or, worst case, reformat.

"Viruses permanently infect the CPU and RAM, you can't stop that."

At this point I'm ready to flip, yet calmly explaining to him that the CPU and RAM aren't affected by Virsus and spyware, so what does he say?

"I'm not having this conversation with you." then blocks me from MSN...Wow.
Annoyed? Yes! However, wanting to kill myself? Hell no! That would be taking it a bit too far. Besides, if I were to kill myself, I would take him along wth me! 😀
