> Macs don't get virus' (or is that virii?).
Ah, now, that's not exactly true, is it? Mac viruses do exist - those
macro viruses could be awfully persistent - and there are a couple of
nasty things out there for the new OS. Opener springs to mind.The same
holds true for Linux. Okay, you are much, much less likely to get a
virus or a trojan or whatever, for all sorts of reasons, but you
*could* :-)
Just because there are millions of Windows viruses out there and maybe
half a dozen for the other systems, doesn't mean that they don't get
any *ever*. And if everyone started using Macs or the same flavour of
Linux I bet there would be more viruses.
