HighGrow is the world's first artificially simulated marijuana growing
program. You can now finally grow your own marijuana plants without the
constant fear of a visit by members of your local narcotics branch!

With HighGrow, you can choose and plant three seeds at any time, and then
watch them grow into large potent marijuana bushes, harvesting them when you
feel they have reached their peak potency!

This educational program realistically imitates the life-cycle of the
Cannabis plant. You'll be able to adjust the lighting, water, fertilize,
prune and care for your developing plants, while learning more about them at
the same time!

Abstract:

So about a year ago, the SO finally upgraded her Net connection to DSL, carefully installed the Yahoo! DSL software into her creaky Sony Vaio PC laptop and ran through all the checks and install verifications and appropriate nasty disclaimers.

And all seemed to go smoothly and reasonably enough considering it was a Windows PC and therefore nothing was really all that smooth or reasonable or elegant, but whatever. She just wanted to get online. Should be easy as 1-2-3, claimed the Yahoo! guide. Painless as tying your shoe, said the phone company.

She got online all right. The DSL worked great. For about four minutes.

Then, something happened. Something attacked. Something swarmed her computer the instant she tried to move around online and the computer slowed and bogged and cluttered and crashed, and multiple restarts and debuggings and what-the-hells only brought up only a flood of nightmarish pop-up windows and terrifying error messages and massive system slowdowns and all manner of inexplicable claims of infestation of this worm and that Trojan horse and did we want to buy McAfee AntiVirus protection for $39.95?
