To eat or to XP?
After reading the commentary regarding the excerpt from the "Malaysian Star" (Piracy allowed in schools), i came across one article posted in The Inquirer by Letternan. So achingly true...here goes:
"The average monthly pay of a citizen (and most definitely that of a civil servant, of which I happen to be one) is LESS than that of 1 legal copy of Microsoft Office + OS. And that costs about as much as a brand new computer.
So, our hypothetical citizen can either:
1) spend a month's salary on food stuff, petrol, rent, detergent, baby stuff etc etc AND one copy of pirated windows OR
2) Buy one copy of Office XP
Like to try to guess which one he would pick? "
What would you pick?
p.s: that darn monitor is goin to cost me RM195. abisla abisla...
