Ahhh yes, but we artistic types use our virus-free Macintoshes to produce useful things like the "Year of" series...

We research types who also do editing [started 20 years ago] can now laugh if we wanted to but it it is so digusting that some barstewards that create and modify malware have now decided that the PC owners of the world should be joined by the 10% of computer users and arty types that use Macs and should get their malware as well,and just to rub it in the PCs won't be affected but the Macs will! Keith will empathise when a whole month's created and laid-out magazine went kaput because of the virus [trojan] I mentioned. Costs and time wasted have been horrendous. And where did this horrible programme come from? A PC owner whose machine is riddled with the electronic equivalent of plagues, and refuses to do much about it. This character is now infamous for sending out all manner of infected material,and that includes me! He has had to be quarantined [block on his address] by people he deals with so that he cannot send them viruses by e-mail.
Good luck and congrats to Keith by the way! And may your Mac remain plague-free... just watch those graphic files as .jpg, .tif as well as .doc and .pdf files can have a nasty attachment that your anti-virus may not pick up.
