Nuke Redmond!

[John Many Jars]

Ha. I was recently in PC World (gross) buying my son a laptop for
University.

They tried to sell him (me) a whole load of crap he didn't need.  They
tried to sell me an Office 365 subscription that he gets for free from the
Uni.  They tried to sell me A/V software you can get free.  They tried to
sell me 1TB of cloud storage he doesn't need.  They tried to sell me
Windows 10 restore media, for FORTY POUNDS.

Amazing.
