BTW, My intelligence is getting more than a bit dodgy and unreliable recently, it looks like an upgrade is on the cards before I'm left on the street somewhere, wondering who I am. I read on this thread they can bought? My local PC world seems to be out of stock, can anyone assist with another source, time is at a premium.

One has to wonder about the poor sod who would buy a used intelligence.

Used Intelligence: Intelligence with Wisdom, a bargain at half the price!!!

Well you know they need it bad if they have bought it at 2 for the price of 3.

Doh!

WOW, that's cheap! Usually they are extremely expensive, specially when they come together! Very high cost usually! So I question the value of the used Intelligence with Wisdom, as we all know, people can't use them, even when they're offered them for free! ;-P

It's true that wisdom is a very rare commodity - one usually discovers it when it is already far too late!

Yes, but if, and I mean really if, there's intelligence present, wisdom may, and I mean may, be obtainable! But again, the cost can be very high!

And sadly, even if you offer it for free to others, they can't even use it! ;-) So I still question the used Intelligence and Wisdom for sale on eBay!

Intelligence works quite well and doesn't slow down the computer. I bought my first one in 1979 and have never had a virus, all without having some program running watching everything I do.

You bought an intelligence? Didn't know eBay was around in the seventies.

Do you know where i can get one?



Oh, Simonator, I don't know! I was born with mine, and I think I got it from my dad!

But I actually have had trojans and one time my virus protection prevented 5 - 6 different vira from being implanted in my system from a mail, that wasn't even to me, but came as spam! And that was before I got MailWasher installed!
