A PC Qik review, part 3

Well, get a load of this crap. Whilst vacumming the 2 fans inside our computer, I couldn't help but notice that our motherboard has been replaced. It's kind of hard to miss that, you know? Now why on earth did those crooks at PC Qik choose to steal our perfectly good mobo and replace it with a different one? One can only surmise that replacing our motherboard has made it far easier for them to snoop on us, which they've been doing (and rather sloppily)for at least 2 months.
They have also stolen files right off our desktop, including the famous PDF I received from PC Qik in early October. A document of which I have multiple copies in multiple locations; ditto for those priceless emails I exchanged with the owner of  Painesville's Original Crappy Computer business.

Of course, there's more to come on this subject.

Now a word about the safety of the computers at Painesville's Morley library. Don't use them. Notice that anyone can peer at your keyboard or monitor to see what you're typing in(passwords, user names, etc)or to see which websites you visit. Also, kindly notice that clearing your browsing data takes two or three attempts.
You can't just click the button and hope it has wiped your browsing history out. Go check it out for yourself.

A good library has privacy screens or cubicles or some other physical barrier that minimizes snooping by others. And a good library has fully functional browser sweeping so that the person who uses the computer after you has no idea who you are or where you went.
