What consistently gets me is that reports/newsagencies love to state "The Internet is rife with viruses, trojans, backdoors and nasties" - but very few, if any, say something like "The Internet is a generally safe place if you don't use Microsoft products" - or - "The only reason the Internet is becoming so unsafe is the lack of security in Microsoft products". Want a trouble free existence online? Don't run Microsoft products. Want consistent operation with the least amount of downtime? Don't run Microsoft products. Want control over your hardware and software investments? Don't run Microsoft products. Want dependability and scalability on desktops AND servers? Don't run Microsoft products. Want to ensure security at both home and at work? Don't run Microsoft products. ...shit...I'm on a roll this week... stephen kuhn - owner ============================== illawarra computer services a kuhn media australia company http://kma.0catch.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents ------------------------------------------------------------------ Deck us all with Boston Charlie, Walla Walla, Wash., an' Kalamazoo!
