"It's hard being an average Internet user. You just can't trust anyone."
Isn't that so true!! I never even open e-mails I don't recognize. I'm glad I have a MAC here. :)

Hee hee - Randi, were you a dedicated Mac person all along, or did Jonza, being a graphics guy, convert you? We love our Macs! :)

LOL! Karen, I've always liked Mac's, but since I've been working mostly on PC's - as they use them everywhere out there in the offices, I've had to adjust. But, I was using Mac's long before Microsoft copied Apple's interface. ;)

I'm not sure I remember this right, but I think the first Mac John had was an LC back in 86.

However, being as conservative as I am, I preferred OS9 to this OSX I have now. Wish I had got more into it before he died. :( Still, I prefer to be on this to my PC!

I never have understood what they get out of infecting peoples computers.. What is the pay off in it for them?

Ditto.

Those are the people who don't have a LIFE.

Karen and Randi,
I join your "Mac Fans" Club. My first computer, many, many years ago, was a humble Apple IIC Plus. My current one, seven years old, is a G3 with OS 9.2.
For as long as I can keep on doing all the graphic design I need to do, this very trusted machine will stay with me.
I wouldn't touch a PC. Microsoft is so petty that because I don't use their platform, or MSN, they won't let me post photos, or even do a direct link, in another board.
