[V8] Re: Spam/Phishing now dump MS

[remove NOSPAM]

Same here Dan. I use a Mac at home (also Unix based) and have not had a 
virus or computer problem in over 10 years.
(btw, I use a 15 year old Sun GDM1962B 20 inch monitor on my mac - it 
still works great too)
Our Suns at work run 24/7 and never go down.
Of course all the regular employees use windows. For them we employ an 
army of IT people. I average a complete software reload per year, and 
there is a near daily warning about the "newest" virus threat.
