An Apple a day..Keeps us from being Win-Dumb
My 1400cs is up and running, (8.0) from the Welcome to Mac O/S and the happy face...something is just different. For a machine that was manufactured in '96, pretty darn quick boot time. Oooh and all the happy little icons start to pop up. WAIT...there's no Start button and no Win-dumb icons. An uneasy feeling comes over me as I scratch my head and feel totally lost But being a former Win-dumb user I downloaded the manual for 1400cs and actually read it. So I turned on the Balloons and suddenly all those cute icons on the bottom of the screen made perfect sense. If ever there is doubtjust relax because my little Mac will explain it to me . Suddenly the uneasiness started to lift as the dark clouds from my head dissipated. Now I fully understand the difference between a Mac and a PC. The Mac is FRIENDLY I've been an MCP since '99 ( I still have my signed MS wall diploma) used every version of Win-dumb from 3.1, 95 A,B and C N/T server/wrkstn 98, ME, 2000, PRO, XP and NOT ONE of them would I ever consider... FRIENDLY There all arrogant and condescending...H Just like Bill LOL -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Fwd: OS 9 Security ?
On Saturday I wrote; ___ Opinions and advice please Listers, A group of PC users has kindly( ? ) told me that I would be appalled if I saw all of the Trojan Horses and Worms working in the background within my OS 9.1 system and greedily taking all of my personal info back to their masters for nefarious purposes. They could not give specifics of course(!) Or suggest a utility to directly investigate the truth of this claim. I would think that in the five years I have been on this list I would have heard at least one horror story related to this yet recall none. So If anyone has had their reputation ruined for devulged info that they were looking at pictures of weasels mating or had their credit ruined by a Trojan horse that got them ten thousand subscriptions to Gerontological Weekly please let me know off list and how you found out and what you did to get rid of the problem in OS 9.1 ___ I reported the results of my question to one of those who suggested the problem, Here is his response; __ Drop the subject.
