I have to agree with you re. the Mac. My wife and I have each owned one or other of these machines for over twenty years and regularly clock up over 200 hours a month on the net. So far we've never seen a virus and from what I read I never want too either. Come to think of it we've never had one of our machines crash but have used up a couple of modems.
Cheers, Roger http://lbarker.orcon.net.nz/index1.html Dell computers are a VERY poor choice. If you would like more information email me at gmccu...@granitepoint.net or gp_t...@earthlink.net We own a computer consulting firm and my husband has 15 years industry experience with Fortune 100 companies. Bottom line on Dells their support sux, it takes three weeks to get any repairs regardless of what they say. You can not trust what components they use. They use what ever is cheapest that week. We can steer you in much more reliable direction but I don't want to clutter the list. www.monarch.com is a good source for PCs Or look at the eMac or iMac for a secure system that does not require virus protection because it is Unix base. Macs are a bit pricier but when you see the inside and experience the difference you will never look back. This coming from a dyed in the wool PC users of the past 15 years, who even builds his own shuttle case PCs. Garnet www.granitepoint.net
