Sometimes I think the average Joe User (lowest common denominator) wants
a PC that behaves more like a really, really smart TV...


You're right, and they should have it. We don't expect people to know much
about how cars work in order to drive and we don't expect people to know
much electronics to use the radio. It's too bad Web TV has such a stigma.
It doesn't suit me, but I think it would suit alot of users just fine.


But what you wrote is both funny and depressing. It stands to reason
that virus hackers are to bandwidth what the junk we own is to closet
space, sooner or later they both tend to fill whatever room is
available...

I don't know why ISPs don't use virus filtering as a big selling point.
AT&T started blocking the latest attachment about 6 hours after it first
struck. Plenty of ISPs don't bother filtering at all. I'd think efficent
virus filtering would be an important consideration for the majority of
users. Especially in the broadband nirvana.
