How would an iPod, or a Mac, get a PC virus?  That's a non-issue.  A
PC virus will run on a PC and nothing else.  A PC virus could be
stored on an iPod just like any other file, but it can't be run on an
iPod, so what's the big deal?  And a PC virus can be stored on an iPod
no matter what filesystem you format the iPod with; it's just another
file, after all.

Thanks for injecting anti-Windows BS into yet another thread.
