MAC ATTACK

If this doesn't drive people to MAC for their new computer what would?

Security: Even on a brand-new Windows machine, you should immediately obtain an arsenal of security programs, and keep them updated. One recent test showed that a brand-new, unprotected Windows machine became infected with viruses in just 20 minutes on the Internet.

We all hold our breath, of course, and refuse to gloat for fear of jinxing ourselves; but to-date, there have been no MacViruses. Period. This and a whole lot more (the new iMac in the same price range is faster then the PC) in today's Wall Street Journal. I don't link it because you have to subscribe (50.00+) and my 'scription won't let you pass (they tell me).

I think that Walt Mossberg is one of the best overall pop-computer critics. The guy at the New York Times is the best MAC guy; David Pogue. He writes the Manuals you should have gotten with the machine. I don't think he is at NYT anymore though.
