Speaking of Macs, I was talking the other day to one of our county computer techs, and I mentioned that the Mac people seemed to brag a lot about their computers not being susceptible to the attacks of viruses. She said that the only reason that is true is because the hackers want to hit a lot of people, and most don't have Macs. Sounded logical. Is her opinion correct?

A) I wonder how much the relative ease of writing PC viruses is due to architecture and how much is due to the simple fact that you can go to the web and download a PC virus template. Also, since the original viruses were early attempts at artificial intelligence, I would think that that would mean that PCs are more capable of being programmed for AI. 2) Maybe it's just because I don't know how, but I become easily frustrated by my inability to do certain things on a Mac. Just finding a file that I know is there somewhere but which Sherlock can't seem to find is one but Þ) This is another. Y'all PCers saw that as I intended but anyone on a Mac will see some sort of kluge, e.g. <THORN>.

Dunno about that one - this iMac G4 (the bubble-base one, OS 10.1.4) doesn't seem to have that capacity. Wonder what I'm doing that's different?
