Please respond to macgroup
The original USA Today article is at:
<http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/computersecurity/hacking/2004-11-29-
honeypot_x.htm>
Bookmark it, copy it, print it, email it, share it with your less, um,
discriminating friends and/or relatives and TELL THE WORLD: THERE IS A
BETTER WAY!
By the way there have been more articles along these lines lately:
Wall Street Journal columnist Walt Mossberg says, "Here's what you have
to do if you want to protect a PC, but first let me tell you that you
can skip all that if you buy a Mac." If I can find a link to the
article that still works, I'll let you know.
A New York Times article talks about how PC users are infected often
when they don't even know it. Like about 60 MILLION computers. 45
HUNDRED new Windows viruses in the first half of 2004. Scary stuff,
unless you use a Mac. This link DOES work but you need to register (for
free) to view it:

I run across this stuff all the time. Y'all want me to pass 'em on as I
find 'em?

P.S. Hey, how 'bout that Apple stock price this week, eh?
