John:
You have a problem. When you go Alligator hunting, you should always
take an Alligator dog. But for centuries the Alligators have been
eating the Alligator dogs, so that today they are very rare items
indeed, making it very difficult to find a good Alligator dog.
But maybe someone reading your email will be able to solve your
problem, and find you a good alligator dog.

Folks,
Fearing to tread into the Windows waters but to save money I must.
I use an online broker, they will pay the exchange fees if you VERIFY
with them each month that you are still an active client. Fine. BUT
it's only through a WINDOWS computer. I have fought with them for a
week and they won't budge, however they say they are "looking" into
supporting the Mac.
The fees can be very heavy, around $76.00 per month for either the
three or four futures exchanges and then a paltry amount for the
equity exchanges.
So, I guess I'll use Boot Camp on one of the Mac's to log into the
account for verification each month, I'll purchase Windows 7 and have
them help me set up the link. UHG.
My fear, I will be hacked while online for those few minutes each
month. I know NOTHING about the Windows world, what in the world can
I do to keep myself safe?
I have used Boot Camp before, booted into Windows but each time I
would remove the Mac from the outside world before booting into
Windows, then when back I would go back online. Now I HAVE to be
online to make the verification.
What do I need to purchase, load, turn on, turn off, etc. to give
myself protection? I won't load anything but Internet Explorer (or if
you suggest another browser), maybe even Safari for Windows?
I appreciate suggestions, I feel like I am going Alligator hunting
where I am the hunted.
