True, Cameron, but I'd like to elaborate a little. I use one of the older Macs, a 3rd rev. Beige G3 PowerMac, with OS 9.2.1. I've paid for and maintain a good virus program, and it's always checking the incoming, but since 1986 I've never got a virus attack! Well, not quite true, I did get a "worm" once, but the effects were mild, and that was perhaps in 1990 (?) Nothing since then. <big grin> I'm very happy with the overall stability of the operating system, and while not absolutely trouble free, the minor troubles I see from time to time are miniscule and rather easily fixed or worked around, compared to Windows problems. My problems are with my ISP's stability or the [in]capabilities of the browser I use, not the OS itself... I am not familiar with the latest Windows, such as any of the NT based ones, but I guess they're quite susceptible to virus attacks. Good ol' Microsoft! <g>
