There is a grand total of 1 (one) known virus for OSX. And even then, propagation is VERY limited. Thanks to the separation of admin functions from normal user functions, it is difficult for a virus to propagate itself, or to compromise your system to the point of failure. On the windows side, windows is windows. You'll still need your antivirus program running, and you'll need to stay on top of the windows updates. OSX has its own update mechanism as well, and it's much nicer than the Windows updates. -Mat -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
