[HM] Re: Software for 9 and 10

[Crandon David]

Why do you say they aren't needed?

TTP and Norton are just as "needed" in OSX I'd say.

CopyPaste, while being a utility as opposed to disk maintanence, is 
just as "needed" as well.

As far as antivirus programs go, in my opinion, they are just as needed 
in OSX as OS9, which really isn't much at all unless you use MS Word 
(macro viruses).
