Malware (viruses, trojans, worms) sucks. At least that's what I've
heard. Being a lifelong Mac user my only exposure to same is indirect, as when
these infections undermine the rest of the computer using
universe.

Here's a nice link:

Suggestion: Throw out your Windows OS and install Linux or buy a Mac!


[This suggestion does NOT apply to Chris L. Peterson, as he's one of a
dozen people in the known universe that actually finds WinXP more
aesthetically appealing than OS X snort]

You can put me on that list as well. Lots of reasons to stick with Windows.
For me, I still run DOS and Win 3.1 programs under XP. Besides that fact that
these programs never existed for the Mac, it is nice that they still run 10 or
15 years later.

(For those of you who don't believe that PC programs exist that will do things
Macs cannot, try this one: Read Nicolet 4094 data off the Nicolet 5.25in 720K
disks with that proprietary Nicolet format. Its a plus that it got the bar
dispersion correction built in.....)
