Good point I forgot to tell her that. If you have very few contacts, it's
easy to call them all (on a telephone, for instance) and ask the open-ended
question "I'm thinking of getting new antivirus software. Which one do YOU
use?" When someone stammers and hems & haws, you know they haven't paid for
an antivirus subscription, and you can dump huge amounts of guilt on them by
explaining that they're worse than a hooker with AIDS.
