Speaker:

Hi, this is Bill Sikkens, host of User

Friendly 2.0.

:

Saturday's here on the answer

with this week's Tech Wednesday.

3

:

This week on User Friendly

we're going to be talking about fakes

4

:

and what I mean by that is hardware

software that you get the purports

5

:

to be a brand says

very specifically that it is.

6

:

But it turns out that it's something

completely different or worse, something

7

:

that's actually dangerous to operate.

8

:

I had this happen to me,

and I've been doing a little research

9

:

on this and finding

that this is actually something

10

:

that is a big concern

and growing among hardware manufacturers.

11

:

Not only does it make the actual

manufacturers of good brands look bad,

12

:

but it can create a situation

that you're simply not prepared for.

13

:

And the whole idea of this

is to get you and your money apart.

14

:

So join us this Saturday

here on The Answer for User Friendly 2.0

15

:

as we're going to dive in

16

:

to some of the different products

that you need to be on the lookout for,

17

:

and how to be able to tell a fake

from the real thing.

18

:

So what happened to me

doesn't happen to you.

19

:

That's the Saturday here

on User Friendly 2.0, here on the answer.
