I wonder if that is the sort of thinking that the last Lemming thinks as it jumps over 
the cliff to a watery death below.

I dont know if it is but I do know that is exactly the thinking of the people I do 
work for when I firt turn up at their businesses. Eg, the company next door and the 
people I know dont see a need for a virus program to protect THEIR A$200 windows boxes 
so why should I shell out US$35 to protect my >A$500,000 a year business when it is 
obvious things would come to a grinding halt for at least a couple of days if my hard 
disks minus any reasonable backup were wiped?

I dont tell them "expect the unexpected". I point out the name of a competitor and ask 
who they would rather be in the lead -themselves or the competitor then point out 
weaknesses and why "Lemming thinking" leads to death.

Greg.
