Excuse me?  It seems a little rude to be accusing people with hardware problems
of pirating software...the A500 does seem to have a history of flaky behavior
when the power supply isn't up to snuff.  The flame is justified.

IMHO: If you are pirating games you deserve any virus you manage to pick up.
