I don't think the worry is too big. There _are_ virusses for Unix based
systems, but there are not enough people using that. Compared to Windows,
we're not worth the trouble I think. Windoze virae have a much greater
audience, and chance to create havoc (The ILOVEYOU/JOKE virus...
Melissa... etc). Also, in Micro$oft stuff you just drag'n'drop a virus
together instead of having to really program one, it seems...
