The best thing I ever did was to stop using windows and all its inherant security flaws a long time ago.
The next time you upgrade switch to a Mac, nearly zero virus', easy to maintian, look fantastic, last for years.

How can you argue with design and logic and not being ruled by Gates and his cronies.

If you do want to ditch the devil and want any help give me a shout.
Dunc!!

I used to work in a college that used Macs in one room. I NEVER took a class where all 15 machines were working :!: and what a stupid design where you drag the CD icon to the trash can in order to eject the CD :roll:
The PC rooms on the other hand were always working (probably something to do with ease of repair)

Yes, but you "used to" work in a college... It's like saying you once drove a car, but it broke down all the time and you had to use a starter handle. (OK, some of us still have this...) I didn't think much of Macs myself 10 years ago, but have you used one recently?
I've been using a Mac with OS X for a month or so now, after using PCs for years (since about 1989 or so), and Amigas before that.
The Mac is stable, reliable, easy to use, secure, and virus-proof. It's exactly what I was looking for out of a computer. Now I can get on with using it, instead of having to guff around patching, rebuilding, troubleshooting, rebooting etc like I used to on the PC. I've not rebooted for ten days!
Apart from fetching the files off it, I've not even turned my PC *on* since I got the Mac.
If anybody's looking at a new computer, for goodness' sake take a look at a Mac! It's the way forwards!

ermmm ...it was 18 months ago and honestly they were a pile of poo.
The only reason the college had them was because the head of department used to be a 'graphic designer' and by tradition he used them and loved them. The students hated them (they could afford PCs but not over priced dinosours).
The HoD left last summer and when the students came back in september the Macs were gone (given to some outreach incentive or other)
Oh and I had a student with only 1 arm (since birth), he found the 1 button mouse system next to impossable to use.
Macs were designed to look good and everything else came second.
The virus thing is nothing to do with the OS, its just that there are so few people using them now that the hackers dont think them a worthy target
:P
I have posted this link before but it is still funny and holds a lot of truth
