I guess it seemed a good idea to delete svchost at the time. I still cant believe they are employing a self help rollout.
As for my OP it is a bit tongue in cheek but like many have said there are far easier ,and better in some cases, phones that make calls and send txts for cheaper.
But like many have commented it is a mostly free world out there and each to their own but its still a damn shame. I will check in tommorow with him to see how he is getting along. You never know it could have been the nudge he needed on his way to complete Karma.
And to the poster that said he would punch someone in the face for making such a suggestion lighten up and smell the free world.
