Which that didn't stop the "non Genius" "Sales Associate" (or whatever 
the term is these days) at the local Apple Store from querying (after I 
delivered her my father-in-law as a fait-compleat iBook purchaser) "Oh! 
But you what about viruses?? You must get .Mac so you'll have access to 
Virex!!"
Well the ol' man started complaining about his arthritis at that point 
so I caved and let her sell it to us so I could get him off his feet, 
and rushed him home so he could start using his new toy ...
