Time to boycott Nordstrom's, J.C. Penny, Atkins and Gevalia

They are supporting spyware.



Given that spyware is quickly becoming the worst support problem for computers, destabilizing millions of machines, and disrupting businesses worldwide, I don't take this lightly.



I'm therefore going to boycott them, and ask my friends and family to do likewise. I've already written them to inform them that I won't be doing business with them, and why.



Anyone care to join me?


Darn, and I like their coffee

I'm not sure if we still receive it; I'll have to check, but they've already got a small sum of money from me, and I've got a freezer full of Gevalia coffee.

I mentioned Gevalia and their "free coffee maker" introductory offer to a friend, and he said "Yeah, but don't you get stuck in one of those evil cycles?", I said "Yes, but it's good coffee..". If and when I run out, I'll have to switch to Trader Joe's unless Gevalia changes their ways and makes amends. (Please, don't anyone ever tell me that we should be boycotting Trader Joe's, I'll have nothing left to live for... :-)
