I agree with not having the gov't worry about another of our minor problems. What if they were to require all programs and e-mail transmittals go through a gov't clearinghouse to inspect for viruses? How's that for the bottom of a slippery slope? They are probably reading and listening to enough of our conversations already. I use Apple and have had no problem with viruses in the 15 years or so that I have used them. The system is stable and inpenetrable, the codes are fairly well protected and I get viruses intended for PC/Microsoft programs all the time and they end up in the trash. The last time I saw a virus alert was on a resume from an engineer sent to me and it was detected on a disc which I used at Kinko's when one of my systems were down. It had no effect upon my system at all. Sincerely, Leland T.
