lots of peecee software is laden with myriad spywares. it's rather disgusting. it embeds itself in your system files, makes itself virtually impossible to delete, and sends joe-random-company details about your internet browsing habits, among other things. a great example of spyware is Kazaa, and very few people realize all of this information is being collected and sold by Kazaa. that said... i'm completely unaware of any spyware on the mac. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
