It's just Email...

What people forget is that email was designed to be a kind of post card that anyone could read along its journey, the postage is cheap...  just as if you sent a post card through the US Post Office to someone and it got stuck in the pages of some periodical... who knows what happened to it, why it did not get delivered and frankly who cares...

E-Mail

Microsoft Office
Office 2010 starter comes with Windows 7.  Full versions of office
are as expensive than the computer that are purchased.  
There are alternatives:  Student versions of office & free Open Office

Downloading Music ...
If you were to walk down the street and someone you don't know,
hands you a piece of candy ... are you going to eat it? 
Guess what same thing applies to Music & Video files
Plan on reinstalling your operating system at some point in time.

Social Networking Sites
Face Book, My Space and Twitter, guess what? The founder, who stole face book idea, got his own profile hacked, he is not going to protect you.  And how do you think he gets paid for all the free things that are on there... from selling your identity.
