ROM chips

[LoveThemBeatles2]

Hi all,

I've been a PC/Windows guy for many many years, the  sun may not rise 
tomorrow because I have bought my first Mac. Powerbook 1400CS..  Only one mouse 
button?  But my real question is:  Apples all have a  ROM chip.. why?  Even 
Macs 
without an O/S, I've never seen the dreaded  command prompt.  What exactly is 
in 
the ROM chip?

Should of  bought an Apple years ago...

Re: OS 9.1 Security ?

[Geoffrey Davis]

I would agree; while there may be something out there that can 
harvest info from 9.1, I have neither heard of it nor seen it. What 
is the sound of one chain yanking?

Sounds like pissy pee-cee jealousy to me.

OS 9.1 Security ?

[Fluxstringer]

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 th 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


TIA
