"You can chalk up a morning's worth of semi-scheduled losses now, or chalk up
even more losses when you have to install patches *after* cleaning the worm 
off".

"You can pay me $500, or you can pay the hospital $4,000 to have your kneecaps
fixed".

Draw your own conclusions about any family resemblance between those two
statements. :)
