Not really. This is one reason why I use Hotmail for my "junk mail" type stuff. Not that this list is "junk" of course, it's just that I never give out my real email address. I use this address for all my "public" stuff. I average about 1 email a week to my real, ISP address. No spam, no viruses. With Hotmail, attachments don't come down to your computer until you expressly tell it to do so. I have this PCI PowerMacs Digest #1013 message in my inbox right now. I probably got the others too, but I never paid any attention to them and just deleted them. Anyways, just wanted to point out that Windows can be safe, if you use some common sense. Successful email-type viruses are the result of Social Engineering, not Software Engineering. They are due to people being tricked into launching an attachment, because they think they know who it's from and therefore trust it. If I can get you to run my executable, then it doesn't matter what OS you are running. I will own your system. Dan -- running Windows 2000, XP and Server 2003 and virus free! _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
