  1. Maybe it should be like in high school when they do not give you a driver's license until they have forced you to sit through the gruesome film* of "what happens when you drive irresponsibly" -- no downloading until you've seen the train wreck! Peace, Otter *I'm sure you know the type of Public Service Film I'm referring to -- horribly dated, with a narrator who sounds as though he might have a son named The Beav: "Here are John and Betty at their graduation..." [closeup of beaming J & B in caps and gowns, holding matching laptops] "John had bought a new car with money he saved from his job..." [zoom out to show J & B are standing in front of Cool Convertible] "John thought he'd go out for a Good Time after graduation..." [cut to nighttime scene, J & B barrelling along with top down, racing trains, woo-hooing all the way, laptops in the back seat] "...but John made some dumb choices." [J & B parked at The Overlook; closeup of open beer bottle in John's hand alongside open laptop screen that shows someone under the heat of passion and booze clicking away cavalierly, selecting to deep-clean everything in sight, without even looking at the screen.] "Here are John and Betty today." [cut to scene of wan John being handed a wad of cash by another guy, who drives off in Cool Convertible; John crosses street to Betty, who is crying on the front steps of a shop placarded "The Computer Doc"; through the open shop door, we can see computer guts strewn across a workbench. John looks mournfully at his fistful of folding money and, shaking his head in disbelief, morosely hands it over to the tearstained Betty, who drags herself sadly through the front door of the shop. Fade in of caption, with simultaneous voiceover: "Cleaning irresponsibly was the last thing on her computer's mind. Don't let it be the last on yours."]
