And Microsoft Windows hadn't been invented yet. Or linux. I am absolutely certain that, once there's a market for it, non-windows viruses will appear. I think it's too risky (and after all, risk is perceived differently by all people!) to assume that just because it's in the too hard/no money basket at the moment, it's going to stay there. And when it happens, I don't want to be in the group of people that everyone's pointing the finger at, chanting 'I told you so'! Steve.
