From: Clark Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Today I received about 560 virus messages (yes, 560, no typo). Fortunately all but about six were stopped by my ISPs spam filters. I'm wondering how much longer we'll have an Internet at this rate.
Here on mac.com, I saw maybe 5 the first day, 2 the second, none today. Somebody at Apple is keeping an eye on this stuff, that's for sure.
Somebody really should sue Microsoft about this. Yes, I know they didn't write the virus -- and of course they in turn should sue the pants off the virus author if he's ever caught -- but MS bears at least some of the responsibility by releasing products they know darn well are vulnerable.
It really blows my mind that this sort of lawsuit hasn't already happened -- the American economy loses at least $10 BILLION a year in data, man-hours etc lost to viruses/trojans/worms/etc ... and that's BEFORE you figure in the cost of a-v software and the time/expense in maintaining it on several hundred million computers.

Claiming that the Macintosh is inferior to Windows because most people use Windows is like saying that all other restaurants are inferior to McDonald's.
