Hi all, Although, I usually loath the tired and annoying apple vs. microsoft nose-in-the-air-debates, i think this is an appropriate place to mention, that in the 18 years that I've been using apple products, I have never owned or used virus protection software and, more importantly, never had a virus on any one of my computers. The main reason i mention this is because I always read and hear about how much time, money and heartache goes into virus protection, etc. it's really debilitating for small businesses and seems very unfortunate that people have had to struggle with this over the years.... my .20 cents.
