I was getting several "illegal operation" errors on a new Windows machine I was trying out. So I called tech support.
Customer: "I want to buy this computer, but I'm a little concerned that I'm getting so many error messages. Is that common with this machine?"
Tech Support: "Well, we have to reformat the hard disk and reinstall the software every day. That's normal."
Customer: "Wait, wait, wait. You're saying that I will have to reinstall Windows every single time I use the computer?!?"
Tech Support: "When it has errors, ma'am, that's the only way to get rid of them."
Needless to say, I purchased my computer elsewhere, from a store and salesmen that had a clue.
