Sam457 via WindowsKB.com

I am thinking about buying Windows XP PRO. I saw an ad about a new company,
PC Upgrading and their low prices. Do you think $75 is a good price for PC
Upgrading. I heard this company is very good.

You pays yo' money, you takes yo' chances.

Saving a few bucks often isn't worth the hassle.

That link does not load on my system. Maybe it's dead, or there's a typo, or
my protective measures have stopped it...

There's nothing on that site to make me believe that there's anything
in the least bit legitimate about them. "If it sounds too good to be
true....." This site bears all the hallmarks of a classic and widely
common scam. I certainly wouldn't give them any of my credit card numbers.

Gosh!

sampasite.com is registered in Redmond, WA so it must be legit!

Well, as noted, it doesn't sound like a legit site or company. I certainly
wouldn't buy anything from them.

Why?

Because every Tom, Dick, and Harry would be e-mailing MVP's with their
questions.

When exchanges of ideas occur within the Newsgroup, *everyone* benefits.
The ones that may have a similar problem as yours, those just looking to
garner a better idea of how Windows works, and lastly--and very
importantly--staying in the newsgroup keeps information accurate (or more
accurate). If I post some advice to you that is in error, I will be
promptly called on it usually by several members of the community. This
directly benefits the OP of the problem.

Not to mention that it also benefits the person who made the erroneous
post. I hate to post erroneous information, and don't think I do it
often, but if I do, I *want* to be corrected. The alternative is to be
left believing the error.

Others have told you why I don't casually hand out my address, though
frankly, it's out there for anyone who wants to find it. My question to you
is, "Why do you want my email address?"
