Queen Alia Airport needs an Antivirus crack

Well, a friend of mine, Saif, was at the “Queen Alia Airport” to pick up his cousin couple of days ago. While he was checking the airways schedule board, the following window appeared from nowhere and covered the part of the screen.

A trial version of Norton Antivirus seems to be installed on the server and the trial period has ended, this window popped-up on the terminals (screens). So he took this picture with his mobile and sent it to me.

Bypassing the fact that Windows is the OS in this case, how the hell can they use a trial version? Have they installed it from a free CD that comes with “Software-for-airports-that-sucks” magazine?

If you know some basics about computers and softwares , you would know that this is an unforgivable action.

At least I now know why RJ flights are always late. They have to keep formatting and reinstalling the trial versions of their flights tracking software. :-)

I wish I were there to see the cursor moving to close that window, or even see the Winamp icon down at the icons tray. Maybe I could’ve been lucky enough to glance a solitaire game residing in the background too. :-)

I just couldn’t stop laughing when I saw it, but now I just don’t know if laughing is the right action.

My advice to the computer department there (if it exists), CRACK THE HELL OUT OF IT PEOPLE or buy the full version.

P.S : Feel free to save or share this picture but please keep the email and the reference to this blog and keep the info. on the image.

Ahmad Humeid must give his August blog entry Queen Alia airport: the need for technology another view now.

Saif, thanx for the pic., Dude.
