The Mac has lots of built in protection that Windows lacks but the most effective way to harm someone is to convince him to do it to himself. I remember a couple years ago an email floating around warning people of a virus and telling them to look for a file on their computer and delete it. Lots did...it wasn't a virus. Having said all this I'm glad I don't depend on my Windows box for my livelihood.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><DIV><DIV>I really like Small Dog.
