Bill: If you've got people telling you that, you should show them how much faster, stabler and cleaner a system will run without any MS extensions.
Strangely enough, MS products will run just as smoothly (if not more so) if you move the extensions from the system folder into the MS folder. I have to run IE and OE occassionally, but I've moved the crap into the respective folders. Know what? My crashes in 8.6 and 9.2.2 are down 70%. I'll stick with Appleworks. Works just fine for me. Friends don't let friends use Microsoft Products (or go to Starbucks). rob Bill Rising wrote: > On 9/5/02 14:01, Jerry Yeager wrote > > >According to an article on MacNN.com, M$'s security problems are not > >limited to Windoze platforms, but have crept over to the Mac as well. > >This one seems to be a serious problem for some folks. > > > >http://www.macnn.com/news.php?id=16268 > > > >The problem affects Office for Mac, Internet Explorer for Mac and > >Outlook Express for Mac: > > > > .... and just today, someone was trying to tell me that it was imperitive > to use all things M$, because they were better than anything else.
