so lemme get this straight, a ms-win virus could be picked up in
linux, but then wouldn't do anything until you booted the computer
back into windows, right?
nope. you cannot pick up a virus in Linux. It would be on a different partition, one the Windows system cannot access.
what is happening is that people on this list (some, grrrrr) still use MS Outhouse to post to the list and receive from the list.
Growl gently please Mac ;-)
Some people don't have a choice - they may be working for unenlightened employers and using the list from work, or maybe (like me last year) they are using the list from an old (M$) PC while trying to get the internet connection working on Mandrake.
