Aptly named because they are circles and therefore have a radius!

The third option seems appropriate. After installing McAfee, my PC got infected by McAfee

I don't think that anyone that works there to actually have a soul left, and to care about the radio buttons.

This is one of the many reasons why I dumped Windows and moved onto to Linux about ten years ago. I don't have that much money and back then I constantly budgeted what I had to pay for .... I wasn't going to spend hundreds on Windows, then hundreds more on subscriptions for things I could get for free in the Open Source Software realm where viruses and security were almost nonexistant. As soon as I dumped Windows, I no longer had to pay for the OS, the office suite, the image editor or the security software. I've saved so much money over the years.

Not McAfee, but in the early 2000s I came home and found that Norton had decided that everything in C:\Windows was a virus.

Honestly I don't remember why they are called that, I just remember from when I had to add them in HTML back in middle school. The damnedest things stick with you.

because they behave like the buttons on a radio.

I usually just went into a lab at a school/college and took the key off the side of one of their desktops. Most schools would buy the machines and they would ship with windows licenses, then they would install their own Enterprise images with a sepetate license key. So if your license key wore off the bottom of a laptop, I'd steal one from there. If it was a Pro license, they worked to install up to Wim 10. I moved to Linux for most everything, but it's always nice to keep a key laying around in case I ever need it

I wasn’t going to spend hundreds on Windows
I never had to pay for Windows. I have been using it since Windows for workgroups 3.11 came out in 1993.

My laptop came with Windows (I could buy with Linux, but the price was the same), and can still run FOSS applications on it. I use GIMP, Inkscape, QGIS, and more.
In 40 years of using a PC I've never paid for security software.
I do still have Adobe products for when I need them though, because when it comes down to it they really do have the best image editing software by a very significant margin.

Well, it wasn't wrong.

You never had to pay. It's not like they're gonna actually support you as a lowest level consumer, fuck em

Although technically correct, that's not much of an explanation with modern radios.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]This was over ten years ago ... 15/20 years ago it was a real pain to try to get a copy of Windows and a key ... it was relatively easy to do if you lived in a big city (I used to deal with a computer guy in Hamilton, Ontario and he had memorized three Windows keys that he just kept reusing) ... the problem was in maintaining systems, updating them and in the changes, it kept messing with your setup and eventually triggering the system that it was an illegal key. Then you had to either disconnect from the internet, find a way around it or find a new key. I don't live near a big city and we didn't have easy access to the internet or forums or groups back then so it was frustrating to keep finding the latest ways to get a cracked copy, institution copy, company copy or hack to keep your system running. I don't work for a big company, don't have access to a school or institution so it was always difficult.
I used to get so frustrated with it all that eventually it was just easier to buy a copy rather than do anything else. Saying all that, I think I only ever bought four Windows OS over the years anyway. And before I learned about Linux and Open Source software, I was the same as most unaware people and just bought the software titles I thought I needed .... plus the security software! ... I remember I maintained a copy of Norton Antivirus for years before I realized it was literally turning my system into molasses.

i mean, the most common radios still worked like that when modern uis were being developed, and they did user studies to figure out what people would understand.

Oh, I completely understand. It's just one of the things that's a relic today and will be weird for the generation that grows up today. Just like the floppy disk symbol for saving or the folder icon for loading.
