You are a middle class 45 year old woman, you and your husband have been slogging for as long as you remember to create some decent saving. You have a 15 year old son who aspires to study in US of A. Suddenly one fine morning your mother calls up and says cousin ABCD had called up saying that there is a cure for Parkinsons and she needs Rs500K to take your 75year old father who has very severe disease. You say you will answer in a day.
You call your sister, she says that she is totally broke (which you know is true) but adds that she would have gladly given everything she had.
You research and find out that the treatment is only 25% successful, so the choice is your son’s career / future OR a probable addition of a few years to your father’s life.
What do you do?
For the record – this lady refused and was called selfish by her mother.
On the technology front SANIsoft finally shifted from BNC co-ax < gasp > to a switched network. Now to read more about packet sniffing on a switched network. I read it is much more difficult but not impossible. Don’t ask me why and what 😉
