I've noticed a few people in the UK referring to their cars as '91's. The SVX wasn't released in the US until 92. In the US, we call our cars by their Model (or "release") year, rather than by their Manufactured year. Our 92's were manufactured in 91 for the 92 Model year.

Sorry, Michael. You gotta be pretty quick on the keyboard to beat the "poster child."

You really need a Mac OS X machine. There is simply no excuse for having to format a drive every two weeks just to make it work efficiently. My god, first Microsoft takes your money, then they take your time. Bastards. I HATE MS.

It's true that OS X is more stable than any MS OS out there. As for reinstalling XP every other week, that all depends on the software that is installed and if they are designed for XP or not.

The main reason that OS X is stable is that there is very little native software for the OS and non-native software runs in the OS 9 classic mode which will not touch/harm OS X.

I use XP on my computers and usually leave them running for weeks at a time without rebooting.

The only thing that keeps me using Windows as opposed to Linux or any other OS is the fact that I rely on software (non-MS) designed only for Windows. Eventually I will make the switch (when I believe that MS knows too much about myself and my computer and that's too close already).

I'm glad to hear that you're moving away from MS. I think that MS has alienated so many people so fast that there's no way to recover. But we'll see.

OS X has tons of native software available now, mostly in Carbon, but lots in Cocoa. It's stable, not because of what you said, but because it's based upon true Mach UNIX. Nothing can touch your hardware. I've been using my PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X since March 25, 2001, and I've never had a crash/kernel panic, and have only rebooted for updates. Never a security hole, except in the Mac OS X native versions of MICROSOFT IE and Office.

I routinely run lots of small apps and utilities, Adobe graphics packages, Apple FCP and DVD Studio, MS Office, OmniWeb, Flash, GC, Virtual PC (Run WinXP on your Mac, w/o threat of viruses and crashes), and tons more. Never a crash.

Now, i'm not saying that people should leave their PCs in the dust -- no need to give up your hardware...just put Linux on it! Linux is brilliant, and Mac OS X is VERY Linux-like, right down to it's UNIX based open sourced core.

Anyway, as you can see, i'm just very anti-MS, and hope everyone creates a bonfire with their MS products and gets a Mac or Linux box.

I don't believe you're in my address book Chris, but if ANYONE has received anything peculiar from me, I'd sure like to know about it. PM me or something. Thanks.
A lot of these viruses propagate and proliferate by using Outlook or Outlook Express address books.

I was recently sent one that I recognised as potential trouble, and isolated and dumped it before harm ensued. SOME of them, including that one, send messages to all un-opened mail addresses in your inbox. Poetic justice really, these would probably be spam if you have not bothered to read them. My mailbox would have no unopened mail. I tend to linger on them all until they change to opened, that way I immediately see how many new come in.

Just thought I would mention it, if you take the trouble to mark all as read, this type will not send out from your machine, giving your virus software a chance to find and neutralise it.

I'm not actually moving away from MS products as much as MS is pushing me away.

My computer is the opposite from yours. You run MS products on a non-MS machine. I refrain from using MS products on my XP machine. I have and will continue to use Netscape, Lotus and Wordperfect instead of IE/OE and MS Office.

Linux is good for people who do little more than browse the Internet (for now). Office Suites are getting better and gaming support is constantly evolving but will never reach the level of compatibility included with Windows XP. I have used Linux on several occasions with success and failures but still require Windows for my main tasks.
