Hello,
Today most viruses are actually worms. The primary purpose lately
is to obtain control of your machine so that they can turn it into a spam
clone. The spammers are paying 5 to 8 cents per box infected. There are
not really that many "good hackers" most are just script monkeys. They take
someone's else's work and just use a program to package it with the
particular applications that they would like to have run. They are not
really doing any work. The reason that windows boxes are the most popular
to attack is because they are the most prevalent. There is not a real
purpose to attack a PDA. They are not on the internet that much. They get
more bang for there buck to go after a networked machine in stead.

Confidently? No, since I can't confidently say why people write viruses in
the first place. (It's one of the most despicable things a
computer-literate person can waste there time on, and I would really like to
see what would happen if all this effort were to be directed somewhere less
harmful, but anyway...) My layman's explanation as to why a BrailleNote is
safe from the garden-variety virus is that the virus has nothing to
communicate with, nothing to "hook on" to. I don't know, maybe it's like
having a non-secure network, and we feel safe until we've been attacked.
Sorry I don't have any valuable virus-related facts here, I'm just
reiterating what I've been hearing from those in the know for years.

Do we not have a virus risk already do to the fact that we run windows?

Yeah,
But you don't want people who don't know what they're doing to develop
programs. That is a draw back. Also, would the virus risk be increased?

I for one agree that if there was a SDK then we could build a messenger
program that would allow us to communict and have a PDA like others, and
also develop altive programs for one the planner so it is more like the
Outlook one that is on every other device out there I belive :-)
Any how I don't have a device yet but form what I am reading and have
read in the manul and played around with on the standard classic VN
QT
This topic should make for a interesting subject and maybe give insight in
to the next KeySoft
Thanks
