Except for Trojans of course. And as long as you keep all your mail incoming to text only. And as long as you don't click on something sent to you by a friend. And as long as you don't click on something by accident. And as long as you have AV software to make sure none of the above happens if you don't take the necessary precautions for one reason or another. Before Windows, there was, and still is, *nix in it's various flavours. There are more viruses/worms, because of it's long history for *nix than for any other OS. And they are mostly adaptable. Now that Macs run a Unix system I expect to see far more of these around now as there is finally a user base big enough to make it worth the while of crackers to write for it. These do not rely in anyway on vulnerabilities in Windows and are often generic (i.e. cross platform). So, yes, I do agree with you providing you never make a mistake ;-) JA> Not that I am worried, I run Sophos on our mail servers, so I'm not JA> too worried about getting infected, but I'd still like to know which JA> viruses you think affect TB! Good. Actually, people cause far more problems these days by transmission rather than by their own misfortune :) -- Best regards, Mike mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
